Comboxes are very handy for quickly filling of values in fields.  
But you can also use the combobox as an pseudo pull down menu.  
This is not a new feature, so many developers will already know that this is possible in Servoy. For newbies however, it might be interesting having a look at the attached files to see how this is/can be done.

Attached one zipfile with two files: combo.servoy and combo.gdb

1. copy ‘combo.gdb’ in: c:\program files\servoy\database
2. connect Servoy to database: Edit-\>Preferences-\>DBServers  
-\>Auto Setup Server -\>Firebird: URL: = combo.gdb  
Servername: combo
3. import solution in Repository: File-\>Repository-\>import: combo.servoy
4. open solution: ‘combo’

Enjoy!
