    @class wxRadioBox

    A radio box item is used to select one of number of mutually exclusive
    choices.  It is displayed as a vertical column or horizontal row of
    labelled buttons.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxRA_SPECIFY_ROWS}
           The major dimension parameter refers to the maximum number of rows.
    @style{wxRA_SPECIFY_COLS}
           The major dimension parameter refers to the maximum number of
           columns.
    @style{wxRA_USE_CHECKBOX}
           Use of the checkbox controls instead of radio buttons (currently
           supported only on PalmOS)
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
    @event{EVT_RADIOBOX(id, func)}
           Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_RADIOBOX_SELECTED event, when a radiobutton
           is clicked.
