    The ExpandoTextCtrl is a multi-line wx.TextCtrl that will
    adjust its height on the fly as needed to accomodate the number of
    lines needed to display the current content of the control.  It is
    assumed that the width of the control will be a fixed value and
    that only the height will be adjusted automatically.  If the
    control is used in a sizer then the width should be set as part of
    the initial or min size of the control.

    When the control resizes itself it will attempt to also make
    necessary adjustments in the sizer hierarchy it is a member of (if
    any) but if that is not suffiecient then the programmer can catch
    the EVT_ETC_LAYOUT_NEEDED event in the container and make any
    other layout adjustments that may be needed.
