Use a drop down combination box when you can predict the possible values for the entry field, but displaying all of the items would crowd the window. You can also allow users to enter items that do not appear in the list.
When you implement a drop down combination box, you provide the possible items and a label for the box. The CommonPoint application system automatically lays out the box for you.
When the user clicks on the down arrow button, the list of items is displayed. The user can either select an item from the list, or type directly into the text entry field. When a user selects an item from the list, it is displayed in the entry field.
