DEMO:

function love.load()

font = love.graphics.newFont(15)

list = require "listbox"

local tlist={
x=200, y=100,
font=font,ismouse=true,
rounded=true,
w=200,h=300,showindex=true}

list:newprop(tlist)

list:additem("MySite","www.MySite.com")
list:additem("MyNumber",123456)
end

function love.keypressed(key)
list:key(key,true)
end

function love.wheelmoved(x,y)
list:mousew(x,y)
end

function love.update(dt)
list:update(dt)
end

function love.draw()
list:draw()
end
