wx.ComboBox selection problem with mutliple entries of same name

Hi everyone,

I am facing a problem with trying to figure out how to get Wx.Combobox to
select the proper entry when I append multiple strings with the same name.

Example.

combobox.Append('a string')
combobox.Append('a string')
combobox.SetSelection(1)
now when I click on combobox to see which row is highlighted, it turns out
row 0 is highlighted. Can someone help me figure out how I can get the
second row highlighted instead?

Jimmy

Hi,

I ended up deciding not to append strings with the same name to avoid
this problem altogether. I am using wxpython 2.8 on Linux Mint.

Thanks for your help,
Jimmy
