/**
 * The <code>Choice</code> class presents a pop-up menu of choices.
 * The current choice is displayed as the title of the menu.
 * <p>
 * The following code example produces a pop-up menu:
 * <p>
 * <hr><blockquote><pre>
 * Choice ColorChooser = new Choice();
 * ColorChooser.add("Green");
 * ColorChooser.add("Red");
 * ColorChooser.add("Blue");
 * </pre></blockquote><hr>
 * <p>
 * After this choice menu has been added to a panel,
 * it appears as follows in its normal state:
 * <p>
 * <img src="doc-files/Choice-1.gif" alt="The following text describes the graphic"
 * ALIGN=center HSPACE=10 VSPACE=7>
 * <p>
 * In the picture, <code>"Green"</code> is the current choice.
 * Pushing the mouse button down on the object causes a menu to
 * appear with the current choice highlighted.
 * <p>
 * Some native platforms do not support arbitrary resizing of 
 * <code>Choice</code> components and the behavior of 
 * <code>setSize()/getSize()</code> is bound by 
 * such limitations.
 * Native GUI <code>Choice</code> components' size are often bound by such
 * attributes as font size and length of items contained within 
 * the <code>Choice</code>.
