help with getting selection from wxChoice with out after it has changed

[' at '.join([..join(['fred', 'dixon']), ..join(['gmail',]

I want to get the selection of several wxChoice boxes.
But i do not want to have to catch the events for all the boxes
I should be able to access the current selection outside of an
event,but i am not seeing how to do this.


This is a hack of the wxpython choice demo to demonstrate my question

#--------- comment marks are for indention
#import wx
#class TestChoice(wx.Dialog):
#    def __init__(self, parent):
#        #self.log = log
#        wx.Dialog.__init__(self, parent, -1)
#
#        sampleList = ['zero', 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five',
#                      'six', 'seven', 'eight']
#
#        wx.StaticText(self, -1, "This example uses the wxChoice
control.", (15, 10))
#        wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Select one:", (15, 50), (75, -1))
#        self.ch = wx.Choice(self, -1, (100, 50), choices = sampleList)
#        self.Bind(wx.EVT_CHOICE, self.EvtChoice, self.ch)
#
#
#    def EvtChoice(self, event):
#        print('EvtChoice: %s\n' % event.GetString())
#        self.ch.Append("A new item")
#
##-----changed here --------- from event.GetSelection()
#        if self.ch.GetSelection() == 'one':
#            print('Well done!\n')
#
#
#if __name__ == "__main__":
#    app = wx.PySimpleApp(0)
#    wx.InitAllImageHandlers()
#    Dialog_Main = TestChoice(None)
#    app.SetTopWindow(Dialog_Main)
#    Dialog_Main.Show()
#    app.MainLoop()
