wxComboBox with wxCB_READONLY

I’m having some difficulty with wxComboBox.

  1. When I create it with the wxCB_READONLY flag the initial value is

not accepted, even though it is in the list of values that I am specifying.

The initial value is accepted when using wxCB_DROPDOWN, but then

the text field is editable – which I don’t want in some cases.

  1. In the cases when I do want the text field to be directly editable,

I would like to just use the same basic event handling as for a text

entry box. However, the KILL_FOCUS event doesn’t seem to behave

the same, and the TEXT_ENTER event isn’t responded to at all – I

need both of these events in order to do validation on the value.

Any help, as always, greatly appreciated. Thanks.

not true.

Please bring this up on wx-users and be sure to mention platform and
versions.
