/*! \class WComboBox Wt/WComboBox Wt/WComboBox
 *  \brief A widget that provides a drop-down combo-box control.
 *
 * A combo box provides the user with a set of options, from which one
 * option may be selected.
 *
 * %WComboBox is an MVC view class, using a simple string list model
 * by default. The model may be populated using 
 * addItem(const WString&) or 
 * insertItem(int, const WString&) and the contents can
 * be cleared through clear(). These methods manipulate the underlying
 * model().
 *
 * To use the combo box with a custom model instead of the default
 * WStringListModel, use setModel().
 *
 * To react to selection events, connect to the changed(), activated()
 * or sactivated() signals.
 *
 * At all times, the current selection index is available through
 * currentIndex() and the current selection text using currentText().
 *
 * WComboBox does not have support for auto-completion, this behaviour
 * can be found in the WSuggestionPopup.
 *
 * \if cpp
 * Usage example:
 * \code
 * Wt::WComboBox *combo = new Wt::WComboBox(this);
 * combo->addItem("Clint Eastwood");
 * combo->addItem("Mick Jagger");
 * combo->addItem("Johnny Depp");
 * combo->addItem("Kate Winslet");
 *
 * combo->setCurrentIndex(2); // Johnny Depp
 * combo->activated().connect(this, &MyWidget::comboChanged);
 * \endcode
 * \endif 
 *
 * %WComboBox is an \link WWidget::setInline(bool) inline \endlink widget.
 *
 * <h3>CSS</h3>
 *
 * The widget corresponds to the HTML <tt>&lt;select&gt;</tt> tag and
 * does not provide styling. It can be styled using inline or external
 * CSS as appropriate.
