FCMCtrlComboBox

The PDK offers FCCtrlCombox which is an edit box with a pulldown menu attached. It has the following features:

• It is an actual subclass of FCCtrlEdit, which means FCMCtrlComboBox is a subclass of FCMCtrlEdit.
• The text contents of the control does not have to match any of the pulldown values.

The PDK manages the pulldown values and selectied item well enough for our purposes. Furthermore, the order in which you set text or set the selected item matters as to which one you’ll end up with when the window opens. The PDK takes the approach that setting text takes precedence over setting the selected item. For that reason, this module (at least for now) does not manage those properties separately.
