Be sure to checkout the web demo, quite impressive IMO:
A dropdown list is not a combo box - a combo box is a text input box combined with a dropdown list. This "combo" aspect is missing in all these frameworks, but they still call their simple dropdowns "Combo box".
They can call it whatever they want?

Who says?
The Win32 API is going to continue to drive naming conventions when all of us are dead.
But yeah, the difference between a combobox, a listbox, and a dropdownlist is just a flag value.
I also don't see an option in ListBox to make it multi-select, was it all horribly done in the notification handling code?

So the name stuck. It isn't really much different than calling them "radio buttons" even though they have nothing to do with radios.

The button set on the face of many dashboard radios would physically pop out the previously pressed button when you pushed a different one in so only one in the set would be selected. The name is pretty obvious if you've used the physical version but I haven't seen one since the 90s.
Similarly comboboxes are called like that because of historical reference (to the combobox control on Win32 that provided the functionality) even though they aren't really a combination of input box and list.
(though one could claim that they are still a combination of a button and a drop-down list, so the name still has some relevance to what is displayed, unlike radio buttons)
They work like radio buttons. How’s that having ‘nothing’ to do with radios?
Zooming the page to 130% gives me a quite acceptable experience.

Yes, I had to transcribe this manually because I couldn't copy and paste it.
