Combo box questions



I've just tried creating a combo box for the first time. I'm doing it
programmatically and while it mostly works, I have some issues. These are in
10.3.9:

- It's a small combo box, and characters with descenders are cut off at the
bottom.

- It's in a window with a default button, and I don't want the Enter or
Return keys to invoke the default button if the combo box's list is showing.

- Is there any way to restrict the text allowed in the box to those strings
I supplied when the combo box was created? I don't want to allow random text
in the box, only the predefined values. Basically I'm looking to implement a
popup with type selection.

- The focus looks kind of wonky:

I'm kind of thinking I just can't really use a combo box as it is currently
implemented. Am I missing something?
