    @class wxSearchCtrl
    @wxheader{srchctrl.h}

    A search control is a composite control with a search button, a text
    control, and a cancel button.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER}:
           The control will generate the event wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER
           (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the
           control or used for navigation between dialog controls).
    @style{wxTE_PROCESS_TAB}:
           The control will receive wxEVT_CHAR events for TAB pressed -
           normally, TAB is used for passing to the next control in a dialog
           instead. For the control created with this style, you can still use
           Ctrl-Enter to pass to the next control from the keyboard.
    @style{wxTE_NOHIDESEL}:
           By default, the Windows text control doesn't show the selection
           when it doesn't have focus - use this style to force it to always
           show it. It doesn't do anything under other platforms.
    @style{wxTE_LEFT}:
           The text in the control will be left-justified (default).
    @style{wxTE_CENTRE}:
           The text in the control will be centered (currently wxMSW and
           wxGTK2 only).
    @style{wxTE_RIGHT}:
           The text in the control will be right-justified (currently wxMSW
           and wxGTK2 only).
    @style{wxTE_CAPITALIZE}:
           On PocketPC and Smartphone, causes the first letter to be
           capitalized.
