I was kind of able to get it to work by making the combo box editable, but
I don't want it to be editable. I want a user to be able to use the tab
key to tab through all of the various input items in the gui and enter all
of the information without using a mouse. For example, in MFC under
Windows, I can create an uneditable combo box that a user can tab to and
press the down arrow key to select one of the items in the list. I have
not been able to do that in Cocoa as of yet. Any help would be great. If
it is not possible to do this, I would be severly disappointed.
