    @class wxOwnerDrawnComboBox
    @wxheader{odcombo.h}

    wxOwnerDrawnComboBox is a combobox with owner-drawn list items.
    In essence, it is a wxComboCtrl with
    wxVListBox popup and wxControlWithItems
    interface.

    Implementing item drawing and measuring is similar to wxVListBox.
    Application needs to subclass wxOwnerDrawnComboBox and implement
    wxOwnerDrawnComboBox::OnDrawItem, wxOwnerDrawnComboBox::OnMeasureItem
    and wxOwnerDrawnComboBox::OnMeasureItemWidth.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxODCB_DCLICK_CYCLES}:
           Double-clicking cycles item if wxCB_READONLY is also used.
           Synonymous with wxCC_SPECIAL_DCLICK.
    @style{wxODCB_STD_CONTROL_PAINT}:
           Control itself is not custom painted using OnDrawItem. Even if this
           style is not used, writable wxOwnerDrawnComboBox is never custom
           painted unless SetCustomPaintWidth is called.
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventTable{wxCommandEvent}
    @event{EVT_COMBOBOX(id, func)}:
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_SELECTED event, when an item on
           the list is selected. Note that calling GetValue returns the new
           value of selection.
