<modulesummary>Functions for wxComboBox class</modulesummary>
<description><p>A combobox is like a combination of an edit control and a listbox.
      </p><p>It can be displayed as static list with editable or read-only text field; or a drop-down list with text field; or a drop-down list without a text field depending on the platform and presence of wxCB_READONLY style.
      </p><p>A combobox permits a single selection only. Combobox items are numbered from zero.
      </p><p>If you need a customized combobox, have a look at <c>wxComboCtrl</c> (not implemented in wx), <c>wxOwnerDrawnComboBox</c> (not implemented in wx), <c>wxComboPopup</c> (not implemented in wx) and the ready-to-use <c>wxBitmapComboBox</c> (not implemented in wx).
      </p><p>Please refer to <c>wxTextEntry</c> (not implemented in wx) documentation for the description of methods operating with the text entry part of the combobox and to <c>wxItemContainer</c> (not implemented in wx) for the methods operating with the list of strings. Notice that at least under MSW <seeerl marker="wxComboBox"><c>wxComboBox</c></seeerl> doesn't behave correctly if it contains strings differing in case only so portable programs should avoid adding such strings to this control.
      </p><p>Styles</p><p>This class supports the following styles:
      </p><p>See: <seeerl marker="wxListBox"><c>wxListBox</c></seeerl>, <seeerl marker="wxTextCtrl"><c>wxTextCtrl</c></seeerl>, <seeerl marker="wxChoice"><c>wxChoice</c></seeerl>, <seeerl marker="wxCommandEvent"><c>wxCommandEvent</c></seeerl>
