\membersection{wxComboBox::\destruct{wxComboBox}}

-\func{void}{SetSelection}{\param{const long}{ from}, \param{const long}{ to}}
+\func{void}{SetSelection}{\param{long}{ from}, \param{long}{ to}}
Selects the text between the two positions, in the combobox text field.

\membersection{wxComboBox::SetValue}\label{wxcomboboxsetvalue}
\func{void}{SetValue}{\param{const wxString\& }{text}}
Sets the text for the combobox text field.
+{\bf NB:} For a combobox with {\tt wxCB\_READONLY} style the string must be in
+the combobox choices list, otherwise the call to SetValue() is ignored.
