The wx.ListItem is just a temporary handle that the listctrl uses to 
identify an item, and to transfer information about the item, however it 
assumes that you know which listctrl you are dealing with.  If the event 
you are needing this for is from the listctrl then you can use 
event.GetEventObject to get the listctrl the event is coming from.
