  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.

  21     @beginEventTable{wxCommandEvent}

  23            Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_CHOICE_SELECTED event, when an item on the
  24            list is selected.
