Description

As the title specifies, a Drop-down UI element (also known as ComboBox in WinForms) specifically a DropDownList).

Reference image (from MSDN, Windows API documentation)
Reference image

This is possible to create on scratch, but it creates clutter for example. when I create a settings page with multiple DDs.

I'm creating this issue since I'm considering writing a DropDownList component for Stride.UI.Controls (so to discuss how it could be implemented).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Stride.UI.Controls area and the referenced MSDN ComboBox image to understand the proposed DropDownList component. The issue currently leaves implementation details and scope open, so discuss the desired behavior and design before identifying the files and tests needed. Done would mean an agreed design and a completed, usable dropdown component.
