/** This service specifies a list box model which is data-aware and thus can be bound to a
    database field, and additionally supports binding to arbitrary external values.

    <p>There are six possible ways that a BindableDatabaseListBox exchanges
    values with an external binding. If a new binding
    is set at a BindableDatabaseListBox, the types from the following list are
    tried in descending order: The first type supported by the binding is used for data exchange.
    <ol>
        <li><em>sequences of `any`s</em>:
            The elements in the sequence will represent
            the values the selected entries of the list box
            (taken from ValueList or read from BoundColumn).
            In other words, the SelectedValues property.</li>
        <li><em>`any` value</em>:
            The value will represent the value of the selected entry
            (taken from ValueList or read from BoundColumn).
            If more than one entry is selected,
            `NULL` will be transferred.
            In other words, the SelectedValue property.</li>
        <li><em>sequences of long integers</em>: When used, the integers in the sequence will represent
            the indexes of the selected entries of the list box.</li>
        <li><em>long integer value</em>: When used, the value will represent the index of the selected entry.
            If no entry is selected, -1 will be transferred. If more than one entry is selected, `NULL`
            will be transferred.</li>
        <li><em>sequences of strings</em>: When used, the strings in the sequence present the texts
            of the selected entries of the list box.</li>
        <li><em>string values</em>: When used. the value will represent the text of the selected entry.
            If no entry is selected, an empty string will be transferred. If more than one entry is selected,
            `NULL` will be transferred.</li>
