/**
    @class wxComboCtrl

    A combo control is a generic combobox that allows totally custom popup. In
    addition it has other customization features. For instance, position and
    size of the dropdown button can be changed.

    @section comboctrl_custompopup Setting Custom Popup for wxComboCtrl

    wxComboCtrl needs to be told somehow which control to use and this is done
    by SetPopupControl(). However, we need something more than just a wxControl
    in this method as, for example, we need to call
    SetStringValue("initial text value") and wxControl doesn't have such
    method. So we also need a wxComboPopup which is an interface which must be
    implemented by a control to be usable as a popup.

    We couldn't derive wxComboPopup from wxControl as this would make it
    impossible to have a class deriving from a wxWidgets control and from it,
    so instead it is just a mix-in.

    Here's a minimal sample of wxListView popup:

    @code
    #include <wx/combo.h>
    #include <wx/listctrl.h>

    class wxListViewComboPopup : public wxListView, public wxComboPopup
    {
    public:
        // Initialize member variables
        virtual void Init()
        {
            m_value = -1;
        }

        // Create popup control
        virtual bool Create(wxWindow* parent)
        {
            return wxListView::Create(parent,1,wxPoint(0,0),wxDefaultSize);
        }

        // Return pointer to the created control
        virtual wxWindow *GetControl() { return this; }

        // Translate string into a list selection
        virtual void SetStringValue(const wxString& s)
        {
            int n = wxListView::FindItem(-1,s);
            if ( n >= 0 && n < wxListView::GetItemCount() )
                wxListView::Select(n);
        }

        // Get list selection as a string
        virtual wxString GetStringValue() const
        {
            if ( m_value >= 0 )
            return wxListView::GetItemText(m_value);
            return wxEmptyString;
        }

        // Do mouse hot-tracking (which is typical in list popups)
        void OnMouseMove(wxMouseEvent& event)
        {
            // TODO: Move selection to cursor
        }

        // On mouse left up, set the value and close the popup
        void OnMouseClick(wxMouseEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
        {
            m_value = wxListView::GetFirstSelected();

            // TODO: Send event as well

            Dismiss();
        }

    protected:

        int m_value; // current item index

    private:
        DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
    };

    BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(wxListViewComboPopup, wxListView)
        EVT_MOTION(wxListViewComboPopup::OnMouseMove)
        EVT_LEFT_UP(wxListViewComboPopup::OnMouseClick)
    END_EVENT_TABLE()
    @endcode

    Here's how you would create and populate it in a dialog constructor:

    @code
    wxComboCtrl* comboCtrl = new wxComboCtrl(this, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString);

    wxListViewComboPopup* popupCtrl = new wxListViewComboPopup();

    // It is important to call SetPopupControl() as soon as possible
    comboCtrl->SetPopupControl(popupCtrl);

    // Populate using wxListView methods
    popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(), "First Item");
    popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(), "Second Item");
    popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(), "Third Item");
    @endcode

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxCB_READONLY}
           Text will not be editable.
    @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.
    @style{wxCC_SPECIAL_DCLICK}
           Double-clicking triggers a call to popup's OnComboDoubleClick.
           Actual behaviour is defined by a derived class. For instance,
           wxOwnerDrawnComboBox will cycle an item. This style only applies if
           wxCB_READONLY is used as well.
    @style{wxCC_STD_BUTTON}
           Drop button will behave more like a standard push button.
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
    @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)}
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED event, when the text changes.
    @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func)}
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER event, when RETURN is pressed in
           the combo control.
    @event{EVT_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN(id, func)}
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN event, which is generated
           when the popup window is shown (drops down).
    @event{EVT_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP(id, func)}
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP event, which is generated
           when the popup window of the combo control disappears (closes up).
           You should avoid adding or deleting items in this event.
