Yes indeedy - now that sounds exactly like the type of Combo box we
need.

One other point, that I'm not sure if wx can do, is that I'd like events
to be returned as the menu is traversed (possibly only if the mouse
button is down) so that we could use this for Live Preview of things
like font selection, line width selection, font size selection etc.

Do you think that's possible?
