I think the most common use case for a ComboBox is a text field with a
history where the user can select from the list of previously entered
strings.
Suggestion popup is not the same because the user has to enter something
before a suggestion is made.

We don't have any plans for a dedicated ComboBox. The non-editable "drop-down"
version (a ListButton in Pivot) seems to be used much more often in UI design, and text
fields with suggestion popups are currently a more common way of combining stock and
user-editable content. So the effort to implement a ComboBox did not seem justified.

Hi there,
Is there any plan to release a ComboBox control in the future ?
To be honest, I was fairly astonished not to see such a common control in Pivot.
I know that it is possible to create its own custom contrlol (using buttons,
suggestion popup, textfield) but I guess that many persons will have to
reimplement it just because its not part of the platform.
What do you think ?
