/**
    @class wxOwnerDrawnComboBox

    wxOwnerDrawnComboBox is a combobox with owner-drawn list items.
    In essence, it is a wxComboCtrl with wxVListBox popup and wxControlWithItems
    interface.

    Implementing item drawing and measuring is similar to wxVListBox.
    Application needs to subclass wxOwnerDrawnComboBox and implement
    OnDrawItem(), OnMeasureItem() and OnMeasureItemWidth().

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxODCB_DCLICK_CYCLES}
           Double-clicking cycles item if wxCB_READONLY is also used.
           Synonymous with wxCC_SPECIAL_DCLICK.
    @style{wxODCB_STD_CONTROL_PAINT}
           Control itself is not custom painted using OnDrawItem. Even if this
           style is not used, writable wxOwnerDrawnComboBox is never custom
           painted unless SetCustomPaintWidth() is called.
    @endStyleTable

    @see wxComboCtrl window styles and @ref overview_windowstyles.

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
    @event{EVT_COMBOBOX(id, func)}
           Process a wxEVT_COMBOBOX event, when an item on
           the list is selected. Note that calling GetValue() returns the new
           value of selection.
    @endEventTable

    @see Events emitted by wxComboCtrl.
