Don't give incorrect example in wxTextEntry::GetInsertionPoint() docs.

Using the text control position as index in GetValue() is wrong in general,
show the correct way of doing this.

Closes #14372.

This is defined as the zero based index of the character position to
the right of the insertion point. For example, if the insertion point
is at the end of the single-line text control, it is equal to both
GetLastPosition() and @c "GetValue().Length()" (but notice that the latter
equality is not necessarily true for multiline edit controls which may
use multiple new line characters).
is at the end of the single-line text control, it is equal to
GetLastPosition().
The following code snippet safely returns the character at the insertion
point or the zero character if the point is at the end of the control.
Notice that insertion position is, in general, different from the index
of the character the cursor position at in the string returned by
GetValue(). While this is always the case for the single line controls,
multi-line controls can use two characters @c "\\r\\n" as line
separator (this is notably the case under MSW) meaning that indices in
the control and its string value are offset by 1 for every line.
Hence to correctly get the character at the current cursor position,
taking into account that there can be none if the cursor is at the end
of the string, you could do the following:
@code
char GetCurrentChar(wxTextCtrl *tc) {
if (tc->GetInsertionPoint() == tc->GetLastPosition())
return '\0';
return tc->GetValue[tc->GetInsertionPoint()];
wxString GetCurrentChar(wxTextCtrl *tc)
{
long pos = tc->GetInsertionPoint();
if ( pos == tc->GetLastPosition() )
return wxString();
return tc->GetRange(pos, pos + 1);
}
