I use InsertStringItem() to insert an item and SetStringItem() method to
put text into specific "columns" in the wx.ListCtrl. The WIA book says
that  InsertItem is used internally by the list control to manage
information. I don't really understand it all, but I don't think it's what
you want. It seems to retain previously created items in memory and that's
why I assume you can query your text. If you have the book, see page 403.
