    @class wxBitmapComboBox

    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.

    @remarks
    While wxBitmapComboBox contains the wxComboBox API, but it might not actually
    be derived from that class. In fact, if the platform does not have a native
    implementation, wxBitmapComboBox will inherit from wxOwnerDrawnComboBox.
    You can determine if the implementation is generic by checking whether
    @c wxGENERIC_BITMAPCOMBOBOX is defined. Currently wxBitmapComboBox is
    implemented natively for MSW and GTK+.

    @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

    @todo create wxCB_PROCESS_ENTER rather than reusing wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER!

    @beginEventTable{wxCommandEvent}
    @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.
