Yeah that is what I wanted, but since our Windows counterpart uses a Combo Box for the same thing, we have to sue a Combo box also (Mainly for Documentation and Training purposes). I have argued about this, but it is not worth fighting them about as far as I am concerned. I save the fights for what really matter.

Hm... Well, it's not unlikely that you could get what you're looking for by implementing the "-comboBox:completedString:" and / or "- comboBox:indexOfItemWithStringValue:" data source methods.


Windows is moronic in it's use of controls that looks like combo- boxes where the functionality provided is actually a pop-up button. You can't tell what type of control it is by looking at it. Only by attempting to enter some text, you'll notice if it's using combo box or pop-up button behaviour.
