  90 A ComboBox is like a combination of an edit control and a listbox. It can be
  91 displayed as static list with editable or read-only text field; or a drop-down
  92 list with text field; or a drop-down list without a text field.
  93
  94 This example shows both a preset ComboBox and one that is dynamically created
  95 (that is, it is initially empty but then we 'grow' it out of program-supplied
  96 data). The former is common for read-only controls.
  97
  98 This example also shows the two form factors for the ComboBox. The first is more
  99 common, and resembles a Choice control. The latter, although less common, shows
 100 how all the values in the ComboBox can be visible, yet the functionality is the
 101 same for both.
 102
 103 Finally, this demo shows how event handling can differ. The first ComboBox is set
 104 up to handle EVT_TEXT_ENTER events, in which text is typed in and then ENTER is
 105 hit by the user. This allows the user to enter a line of text which can then be
 106 processed by the program. EVT_TEXT can also be processed, but in that case the
 107 event is generated every time that the user hits a key in the ComboBox entry field.
