    @class wxBitmapComboBox
    @wxheader{bmpcbox.h}

    A combobox that displays bitmap in front of the list items.
    It currently only allows using bitmaps of one size, and resizes itself
    so that a bitmap can be shown next to the text field.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxCB_READONLY}:
           Creates a combobox without a text editor. On some platforms the
           control may appear very different when this style is used.
    @style{wxCB_SORT}:
           Sorts the entries in the list alphabetically.
    @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). Windows
           only.
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventTable
    @event{EVT_COMBOBOX(id, func)}:
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_SELECTED event, when an item on
           the list is selected.
    @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)}:
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED event, when the combobox text
           changes.
    @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func)}:
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER event, when RETURN is pressed in
           the combobox.
