Description Dejan Glozic CLA 2002-01-22 13:10:51 EST 
There is no way to limit a ComboBoxPropertyDescriptor to a number of provided 
choices. It creates an editable combo box, and users can enter values that are 
not in the provided list. In addition, when a typed value does match one of the 
choices, the return value is still Integer with a value of -1.

1) We should be able to specify that the user must choose from the provided 
choices (read-only)
2) If not read only, the entered value should be checked against the choices 
and if there is match, the correct index should be returned.

This problem causes a PDE bug #6270.
