A band box is a special text box that embeds a customizable popup window (aka., a dropdown window). Like comboboxes, a bandbox consists of an input box and a popup window. The popup window is opened automatically, when users presses Alt+DOWN or clicks the

button.

Unlike comboboxes, the popup window of a bandbox could be anything. It is designed to give developers the maximal flexibility. A typical use is to represent the popup window as a search dialog.
