## Detailed Description

A combobox that displays bitmap in front of the list items.

It currently only allows using bitmaps of one size, and resizes itself so that a bitmap can be shown next to the text field.

Remarks:
  While wxBitmapComboBox contains the wxComboBox API, but it might not actually be derived from that class. In fact, if the platform does not have a native implementation, wxBitmapComboBox will inherit from wxOwnerDrawnComboBox. You can determine if the implementation is generic by checking whether `wxGENERIC_BITMAPCOMBOBOX` is defined. Currently wxBitmapComboBox is implemented natively for MSW and GTK+.

## Styles

This class supports the following styles:

- wxCB_READONLY:
  Creates a combobox without a text editor. On some platforms the control may appear very different when this style is used.
- wxCB_SORT:
  Sorts the entries in the list alphabetically.
- 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.

Todo:
  create wxCB_PROCESS_ENTER rather than reusing wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER!

## Events emitted by this class

The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:

void handlerFuncName(wxCommandEvent& event)

Event macros for events emitted by this class:

- EVT_COMBOBOX(id, func):
  Process a `wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_SELECTED` event, when an item on the list is selected.
- EVT_TEXT(id, func):
  Process a `wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED` event, when the combobox text changes.
- EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func):
  Process a `wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER` event, when RETURN is pressed in the combobox.
