  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.

  16     @beginStyleTable
  17     @style{wxCB_SORT}
  18            Sorts the entries alphabetically.
  19     @endStyleTable
  20
  21     @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
  22     @event{EVT_CHOICE(id, func)}
  23            Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_CHOICE_SELECTED event, when an item on the
  24            list is selected.
