None of these issues will supply a traceback; in fact, in some of
these cases, you went out of your way to ensure that would not
happen.  That's an additional bug (or 5 additional bugs depending how
mean your tester/QA staff are).

The fact it doesn't provide a control found almost exclusively in file
browsers and open/save dialogs does not mean that it is "20 years old
rotware".

I certainly can, but there's no point in demonstrating my skill when
you cannot create a wxWidgets GUI at a basic level.  You made the
challenge, you intentionally styled it as "rantingrick v. the world",
so you need to actually bring something challenge worthy to the table
first.

That includes picking a challenge that's interesting and not over a
relatively minor widget in the grand scheme of things.  Qt, Swing,
Gtk, and Win32 common controls[1] don't provide the same exact control
either, should we view it as deficient?

But regardless of the challenge, I don't think you're capable of
posting a worthwhile example, which is why you dismiss all the
problems found with it instead of actually fixing the code.

I certainly can.  I don't have much hope for you writing code that
provides tracebacks, much less actually useful ones.

[1] Hell, I'm not sure /any/ toolkit provides the whole of wxListCtrl
functionality OOB, besides wxWidgets itself.  Like I said, it's
specific functionality isn't well suited.
