 [form.]combobox.Style
 
 Usage Notes
   ■ Use setting 0 (Dropdown Combo) or setting 1 (Simple Combo) to allow the
     user to enter a choice in the edit area.
 
   ■ Style 0 saves space on a form because the list portion closes when the
     user makes a selection.
 
   ■ Use setting 2 (Dropdown List) to display a fixed list of choices from
     which the user can select one. The list portion closes when the user
     selects an item.
 
   ■ The size of a Simple combo box (Style = 1) includes both the text and
     list portions of the control. By default, a Simple combo box is sized
     so that none of the list shows. Increase the Height property to show
     more of the list. See: ◄Height Property►
 
   ■ The DropDown event and the SelLength, SelStart, and SelText properties
     do not apply when Style = 1.
     See: ◄DropDown Event►     ◄SelLength Property►
          ◄SelStart Property►  ◄SelText Property►
 
   ■ When Style = 2, no Change event is generated. See: ◄Change Event►
