Changing wxChoice selections

wxPython Users

Is there a way to change the string list (selections) of wxChoice once
it is created ??

I checked the wx online docs and noted there was a GetStrings() method
in one of the base classes that appears to return the current list, but
there is no equivalent SetStrings() method.

Thanks, Brendan.

Api is a little inconsistent here,

wx.Choice.SetItems(['list', 'of', 'strings'])

I changed my google inputs and found a solution.

Either:
    choice.Clear()
    choice.AppendItems( newList )
    choice.SetSelection(0)
or
    choice.SetItems( newList )
    choice.SetSelection(0)

I presume that Clear() is not required when calling SetItems(). i.e. it
is implicit.

Yes SetItems is simply defined as,

def SetItems(self, items):
     """Clear and set the strings in the control from a list"""
     self.Clear()
     self.AppendItems(items)
