NAME
       Term::Stool::DropDown - drop down list widget

DESCRIPTION
       This is a drop down list widget.

       Term::Stool::Container is the parent of this class.

FIELDS
       list
           A List widget that is displayed when the widget is
           dropped down. It is created automatically when the
           DropDown widget is created unless you pass one into
           the new() method (doing so is a good idea, generally).

           This doesn't actually have to be a list widget; it
           could be any sort of widget that has a value method.
           That would be pretty weird though, in general.

           The widget will be hidden when it should not be dis-
           played.

       selcolor
           This is the color to draw the actual widget in. Note
           that the activecolor is the color used for the drop
           down widget.

METHODS
       init
           Sets up colors, and sets the fields above to reason-
           able defaults.

       display
           Draw the widget.

       resize
           Resize the attached list as well.

       activate
           Unlike most containers, this widget can be activated
           directly.

       deactivate
           When deactivated, the list is automatically retracted.

       dropdown
           Drop the list down.

       retract
           Retract the list.

       keypress
           Catches space and enter, and uses them to toggle list
           expansion. Passes all other keys on to the list if it
           is dropped down. If the list doesn't handle them, pass
           them on to SUPER.

       move_focus
           Though this object is a container, it doesn't handle
           focusing like most containers do: it can be focused,
           and the stuff inside it cannot be directly focused.
           Therefore, when asked to move focus, it immediatly
           passes the request to its container.
