* Description

* List box data model interface.

*

* Writing derived classes:

* 

* This class should be implemented by anything providing data for

* display in a CEikListBox-derived class. The very basic interface

* offered by MListBoxModel is usually expanded upon to provide more

* information for the specialised subclasses of CEikListBox. It is

* usual when deriving specialised list boxes to subclass the list box

* class, its view classes and its model together. See also:
