I wouldn't be surprised if DropDown can be simplefied and be more generic. I'd
be
happy to look at any suggestions for improvements.

One thing about the DropDown is that you want to be able to ask it for its
current
index (and know when it changed via the SelectionListener), which is rather
closely
related to the ListBox. The same goes for its scroll wheel and keyboard
handling.
Maybe it would help if you would elaborate on which functionality of the
DropDown
would be nice to make more generic? Would it be worth having a superclass just
for
popping up a widget on click?
Comparing to Qt, since I can't help it. The QComboBox has a setView() method to
complement the setModel() method. This allows you to also display tables and
trees in
a combo box (as well as use any custom view), but still the combo box is able
to work
with the "current index". That wouldn't be the case if you could just set any
QWidget
on it, instead of being limited to QAbstractItemView instances.

Yeah, Bjorn, a superclass might help a lot in both reducing the complexity and
helping to allow for more flexibility with the widget.
As for how much, I'd say that nearly all of it might be movable to a
superclass, but
it'd take a bit of pondering on how to do it all (I mainly was trying to get
this
issue a bit of attention first, since I'm still a bit fuzzy on where the lines
should
get drawn), but yes, not all of it could get replaced by the parent widget. For
one,
I think that what's displayed when it's closed can be handled by just changing
the
viewable area.
I'll probably revisit this issue at a later date, but at the moment, I've got
some
other issues on my own project which have been backlogged for a while, and
should get
around to actually implementing some of the design documents I have lying
around.
I'll probably get back to this issue when I get the TextBox revision finished
for my
own project and attempt to supply a usable backport (issue #90. If you'd like
some
more information on what I have planned so far, I can supply it there).
