So it looks like wxGenericValidator doesn't know about wxPickerBase.  It 
seems like it should.  Would the developers accept a patch to do this in 
wxGenericValidator.

Perhaps creating a special wxPickerBase validator that just applies a 
wxValidator to the wxTextCtrl component would be a better solution.

For my current project I created a Picker validator that inherits from 
wxGenericValidator and does the copying of the data via the wxTextCtrl.

Any thoughts?
