[wxPython] Vertical size of ComboBox Adjustable?

I don't have my code in front of me, but I had success setting the size of
the wxComboBox (using wxWindow::SetClientSize(size)) after every change in
the list contents. The height will be rounded (down?) to the nearest whole
entry (or less, if the list is short), and it only affects the dropdown
part. I presume the entry part's height is tied to the text height. The
width affects both parts.

Well, I tried setting the height but I don't think it is used. When it is
set at -1, 0, or 200 it doesn't seem to make any difference. I have noticed
in the list archives that people are working on the wxChoice/wxComboBox
because of a problem in conjunction with using sizers. Could using a sizer
help my combo boxes? Will I encounter the same problems if I switch to
wxChoice or wxListbox? Could setting the readonly flag be a factor?

You could try setting the height in the size parameter, but I think that
will only affect the size of the undropped combo and that the size of the
dropdown is fixed.
