/**
    @class wxComboCtrl
    @wxheader{combo.h}
    
    A combo control is a generic combobox that allows totally
    custom popup. In addition it has other customization features.
    For instance, position and size of the dropdown button
    can be changed.
    
    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxCB_READONLY}:
           Text will not be editable.
    @style{wxCB_SORT}:
           Sorts the entries in the list alphabetically.
    @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER}:
           The control will generate the event wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER
           (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the
           control or used for navigation between dialog controls). Windows
           only.
    @style{wxCC_SPECIAL_DCLICK}:
           Double-clicking triggers a call to popup's OnComboDoubleClick.
           Actual behaviour is defined by a derived class. For instance,
           wxOwnerDrawnComboBox will cycle an item. This style only applies if
           wxCB_READONLY is used as well.
    @style{wxCC_STD_BUTTON}:
           Drop button will behave more like a standard push button.
    @endStyleTable
    
    @beginEventTable
    @event{EVT_TEXT(id\, func)}:
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED event, when the text changes.
    @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id\, func)}:
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER event, when RETURN is pressed in
           the combo control.
