/**
   This widget must be the base class for an entry widget used in the @ref
   KMultiFormListBox class. It is necessary for you to inherit this class to get any
   information attached to the elements in the KMultiFormListBox.

   The KMultiFormListBox widget features a fast scrolling mechanism through the Idx
   button. If you want to use this in you KMultiFormListBox, then you must do the
   following:
   @li Create a @ref TQPushButton as a sub-widget to your KMultiFormListBoxEntry.
   @li Override the @ref indexButton method to return your TQPushButton
   @li Override the @ref idxString to return a @ref TQString
   with a textual representation of the content in this KMultiFormListBoxEntry. This
   string will be used in the drop-down box which the user gets when he
   presses the Idx button.
   @li The drop down window must be aligned horizontal to some widget
   (which should be next to the Idx button, to ensure a good looking GUI. The
   position of the drop down widget may be specified in two ways: (1)
   override the @ref valueWidget method to return a widget, to align with
   (that is the upper right corner of the drop down  window will be the
   same as the lower right corner of this widget) or (2) override the @ref
   indexWindowPos method to return a start point for the drop down window and
   a width.
