Detect currently selected item from GridCellChoiceEditor

Is there a way to detect when a user scrolls over the different choices in a GridCellChoiceEditor, without having the user make a selection? The underlying ComboBox does not seem to support what I want to do. I would like something like wx.Choice with the GetCurrentSelection() function, but implemented in a grid. How would I go about doing this?

I am trying to create a help text section of my application that will change based on what value the user currently has highlighted in the drop down menu. This will enable the user to make a more educated guess at what each choice means.

I am using Python 2.6.1 and wxpython 2.8 on WinXP

It looks like wx.ComboBox also has a GetCurrentSelection method. Does it not work?

Thanks. I’m new to python and must have missed it.
