Im looking for a ComboBox-type component just like the
ComboBox-type component at the top of the Object Inspector.
It looks like a ComboBox, but since the user cant edit the string,
it acts like a menu.  When the list box drops down, the string
that was originally displayed is the one highlighted in the list.
As with a menu, Im mostly interested in which line the user selected,
(first line, second line, etc.), not the actual text of that line.

Does anybody know of the whereabouts of such a component, or,
failing that, could somebody suggest the easiest way to build
one out of other components?

--Thanks

There's one in Delphi.  Just use the normal TComboBox but set the style
to csDropDownList.  The only thing I can't get it to do is to not have
focus after the selection (Unlike the Object Inspector)

You can use a standard TComboBox with the Style set to csDropDownList.  You
can set the selected item to the index returned by IndexOf(TheCurrentValue)
on the Items property.
