    @class wxComboBox

    A combobox is like a combination of an edit control and a listbox.

    It can be displayed as static list with editable or read-only text field;
    or a drop-down list with text field; or a drop-down list without a text
    field depending on the platform and presence of wxCB_READONLY style.

    A combobox permits a single selection only. Combobox items are numbered
    from zero.

    If you need a customized combobox, have a look at wxComboCtrl,
    wxOwnerDrawnComboBox, wxComboPopup and the ready-to-use wxBitmapComboBox.

    Please refer to wxTextEntry documentation for the description of methods
    operating with the text entry part of the combobox and to wxItemContainer
    for the methods operating with the list of strings. Notice that at least
    under MSW wxComboBox doesn't behave correctly if it contains strings
    differing in case only so portable programs should avoid adding such
    strings to this control.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxCB_SIMPLE}
           Creates a combobox with a permanently displayed list. Windows only.
    @style{wxCB_DROPDOWN}
           Creates a combobox with a drop-down list. MSW and Motif only.
    @style{wxCB_READONLY}
           A combobox with this style behaves like a wxChoice (and may look in
           the same way as well, although this is platform-dependent), i.e. it
           allows the user to choose from the list of options but doesn't allow
           to enter a value not present in the list.
    @style{wxCB_SORT}
           Sorts the entries in the list alphabetically.
    @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER}
           The control will generate the event @c 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

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
    @event{EVT_COMBOBOX(id, func)}
           Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_SELECTED event, when an item on
           the list is selected. Note that calling GetValue() returns the new
           value of selection.
    @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)}
           Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED event, when the combobox text
           changes.
    @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func)}
           Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER event, when RETURN is pressed in
           the combobox (notice that the combobox must have been created with
           wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER style to receive this event).
    @event{EVT_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN(id, func)}
           Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN event, which is generated
           when the list box part of the combo box is shown (drops down).
           Notice that this event is currently only supported by wxMSW and
           wxGTK with GTK+ 2.10 or later.
    @event{EVT_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP(id, func)}
           Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP event, which is generated
           when the list box of the combo box disappears (closes up). This
           event is only generated for the same platforms as
           @c wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN above. Also note that only wxMSW
           supports adding or deleting items in this event.
