Just want to make sure we're all using the same common terminology
here... I don't see a DropDown as a regular ListBox control, but a
ComboBox control with text-entry editing turned off. I had always
thought a common ListBox control was a list of multiple items where you
select and highlight one or more directly in the list (such as the "Set
Language" dialog in win32). A DropDown (aka ComboBox with the inability
to directly edit the text entry field. isn't this acutally called the
DropDown style of a ComboBox control?), would be something more like the
Alignment field on FormatParagraph.

The comment above should probably be changed from "/* list box w/no text
entry */" to something more along the lines of " /* list box w/ text
entry disabled */" to avoid confusion.
