Can a ListBox be made to look like a drop down?

I have a requirement for a multi-select list, but it must appear as a drop
down. I cannot find any properties on the ListBox control, nor any google
hits on how to accomplish this. Anybody have an pointers?

Thanks,
Eric

Always puzzled me why anyone would want this - If you select multiple items
in the dropdown, what goes in the textbox?

Still, someones written one for you here:

ComponentArt has a TreeView control that can do this (work as a combo-box)
