  11
  12     A choice item is used to select one of a list of strings. Unlike a
  13     wxListBox, only the selection is visible until the user pulls down the
  14     menu of choices.

  18            Sorts the entries alphabetically.

  21     @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}

  24            list is selected.
