# Description

Use the comboBox keyword to create a combo box menu.

Combo box menus are normally used to designate a state. Choosing an item from a combo box changes the current setting.

Using the text box at the top of the combo box, the user can specify a state that is not in the menu's list of states. This menu type is suitable for situations in which the user probably will choose one of the predefined states, but might need to specify a different state.

>*Note:* If a button menuMode is set to "comboBox", > the button receives field messages. For > example, when the user clicks in the editable field, an openField > message is sent to the button.
