Hi,

Try LPopupButton: it's a popup menu dropping down a display zone.
However to be able to edit items you'll need to place an edit
(LEditText or LEditField) beside it.

Hth.

The control is defined in ControlDefintions.h (although it is only
present in recent versions of OS X, and it is rarely the right choice
for a true Macintosh program's user interface.) You'll need to wrap it
in an appropriate PowerPlant wrapper class. Look at the source for
LBevelButton to get you started.
