Detailed Description

A text field with a list of choices.

The ComboBox class provides a widget that's built from two exported subordinate widgets: List and Text.

A ComboBox widget provides a text-entry area and a list of choices.

: You can type in the text field or choose a predefined entry from the list. The list can be either:

Static: Always present above or below the text field.
Dropping: You must click a button to see the list.

: The widget behaves like a List or Text widget, depending on which part has focus.

Note: You can't specify the selection mode for the list.

To select an item using the pointer, either click on an item or drag the pointer down the list and release the button when the correct item is highlighted. You can select only one item. If you drag the pointer, the list can scroll.

: A blocking mechanism lets ComboBox block the inheritance of certain resources from its subordinate widgets. This prevents any actions that would negatively affect the look and behavior of a ComboBox widget.
