I'd like to use an equivelent to Window's combo box which combines an edit control and a drop-down list box. At present I'm using an Optionmenu, but it jars somewhat in a Windows environment and doesn't offer a combined edit control. I'd like to switch code similar to the sample code to use a combo box type control that had a rather more Windows look and feel.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;

my $main = MainWindow->new (-title => "Optionmenu demo");
my $id = 'Some different one';
my $IDLabel = $main->Label (-text => 'ID name: ', -anchor => 'w');
my $IDText = $main->Optionmenu (
    -height => 1, -width => 40,
    -variable => \$id,
    );

$IDLabel->form (-left => '%0', -right => $IDText, -top => '%0');
$IDText->form (-right => '%100', -top => '%0');

$IDText->configure (-options => ['This one', 'That one', 'The other on
+e']);

MainLoop;
