wxruby users - Feb 2010 - Wx::Choice in Windows

Hi!
While testing my wxRuby app on Windows, I found that Wx::Choice behaves
differently under Linux and Windows. For this line of code

    @tpf_choice = Wx::Choice.new(self, :choices => %w(1 8 16 32 64 256))

in Linux, the first choice ''1'' is pre-selected, while in
Windows nothing
is selected until I open the list and select a value from it. After
that, blank value cannot be selected.
Is it a bug?

I suggest you add
set_selection
to make sure that 1st value is pre-selected
I don''t know about you, but I would rather play save
when it comes to programming, especially cross platform
and since I am not the developer of this great library (just a user)
I cannot help you any otherway

Thanks for the report. It''s always been this way, and is so too in 
wxWidgets. I don''t think it''s a bug but rather a difference in
the way
the native control works on each platform. But, yes, it can be surprising.
