wxChoice is-a wxItem

A wxChoice item is similar to a single-selection wxListBox but normally only the current selection is displayed. It must be the child of a wxPanel.

wxChoice values

multifield values

List of string values for initializing the wxChoice item.

wxChoice create

bool ( wxChoice create)

Creates a choice item on the given panel. A choice consists of a list of strings, one of which may be selected and displayed at any one time. The following slots may be initialized.

• parent: should be a wxPanel or wxDialogBox.
• x: may be absent or -1 to denote default layout, or zero/positive integer.
• y: may be absent or -1 to denote default layout, or zero/positive integer.
• width: may be absent or -1 to denote default width, or a positive integer.
• height: may be absent or -1 to denote default height, or a positive integer.
• window-name: may be absent or a string name to identify this item.
• label: may be absent or a string name to label this item.
• style: reserved for future use.
• values: a multifield list of strings.

Note that under Motif, it is recommended that the values are passed in this function, rather than using append, because of the nature of Motif. Otherwise, things are likely to be messed up.
