GetCurrentSelection()

Unlike GetSelection which only returns the accepted selection value, i.e. the selection in the control once the user closes the dropdown list, this function returns the current selection. That is, while the dropdown list is shown, it returns the currently selected item in it. When it is not shown, its result is the same as for the other function.

This function is new since wxWidgets version 2.6.2 (before this version GetSelection itself behaved like this).

Returns:

int
