API change: a single SELECTION_CHANGED not lots of SELECT and UNSELECT events

3 An erase event is sent when a window's background needs to be repainted.
4
5 On some platforms, such as GTK+, this event is simulated (simply generated just before the
6 paint event) and may cause flicker. It is therefore recommended that
7 you set the text background colour explicitly in order to prevent flicker.
8 The default background colour under GTK+ is grey.
9
10 To intercept this event, use the EVT\_ERASE\_BACKGROUND macro in an event table definition.
11
12 You must call wxEraseEvent::GetDC and use the returned device context if it is non-NULL.
13 If it is NULL, create your own temporary wxClientDC object.

30 To process an erase event, use this event handler macro to direct input to a member
31 function that takes a wxEraseEvent argument.
