An NSComboBox is an instance of a subclass of NSTextField. Use as a free-form
text-entry control, _assisted by_ suggested completions, is the essence of the
class. Text fields are either editable or not. One might wish NSComboBox were a
different object, but it isn’t.
The text field delegate methods let you constrain the user’s input on-the-fly,
and there are additional delegate methods and notifications for combo boxes;
see if you can get what you want that way. Maybe CocoaPods has something, it’s
a commonly-desired feature.
