|phoenix_title|  **wx.lib.filebrowsebutton.FileBrowseButtonWithHistory**
==========================================================================================================================================

with following additions:
    __init__(..., history=None)

        history -- optional list of paths for initial history drop-down
            (must be passed by name, not a positional argument)
            If history is callable it will must return a list used
            for the history drop-down

        changeCallback -- as for FileBrowseButton, but with a work-around
            for win32 systems which don't appear to create wx.EVT_COMBOBOX
            events properly.  There is a (slight) chance that this work-around
            will cause some systems to create two events for each Combobox
            selection. If you discover this condition, please report it!

        As for a FileBrowseButton.__init__ otherwise.

    GetHistoryControl()
        Return reference to the control which implements interfaces
        required for manipulating the history list.  See GetHistoryControl
        documentation for description of what that interface is.

    GetHistory()
        Return current history list

    SetHistory( value=(), selectionIndex = None )
        Set current history list, if selectionIndex is not None, select that index

       GetHistoryControl()
           Return reference to the control which implements interfaces
           required for manipulating the history list.  See GetHistoryControl
           documentation for description of what that interface is.
   
       GetHistory()

       SetHistory( value=(), selectionIndex = None )
           Set current history list, if selectionIndex is not None, select that index
   
       

   .. method:: __init__( self, \*arguments, \*\*namedarguments)


   .. method:: createTextControl( self)

      Create the text control


   .. method:: GetHistory( self )

      Return the current history list


   .. method:: GetHistoryControl( self )

      Return a pointer to the control which provides (at least)
      the following methods for manipulating the history list:
      
          Append( item ) -- add item
          Clear() -- clear all items
          Delete( index ) -- 0-based index to delete from list
          SetSelection( index ) -- 0-based index to select in list
      
      Semantics of the methods follow those for the wxComboBox control


   .. method:: OnSetFocus(self, event)

      When the history scroll is selected, update the history


   .. method:: SetHistory( self, value=(), selectionIndex = None, control=None )

      Set the current history list


   .. method:: SetValue (self, value, callBack=1)

      Convenient setting of text control value, works
      around limitation of wx.ComboBox
