[wx-dev] adding auto-complete test on widgets sample

[Armel Asselin]

Hi (Vadim),

I am currently in order to try to add auto-complete in the widgets sample.
from what I see there are already specific field which would have interest 
in auto-complete (directory selector field, BTW, it makes me wonder if there 
is a possible notion of AutoCompleteFileNames(wx??Directory)...)
we were somewhat ok to add a combobox per test (fixed list, filename, async 
list), but in the widgets sample it would seem more natural to me to have 
some kind of integration with existing fields (filename => file selector, 
fixed list => simple combo...).
maybe not, what do you think of that?

Regards
Armel Asselin
