documentation
"
    A ComboBoxView combines an inputField with a drop down list of default inputs;
    choosing any from the pulled list presets the string in the field.

    In contrast to a PopUpList or ComboListView, the string can still be edited -
    the list is actually only a set of values for the convenience of the user.

    Not yet finished.
