Actually, a drop-down list differs from a combo box in this respect: a
drop-down list has items you can select, but you cannot type anything
in the list. A combo box allows you to select from a list OR type a
new item into the box. Reference: "The Windows Interface Guidelines
for Software Design," Microsoft Press (ISBN 1-55615-679-0).
