#151 Support HTML Formatting in the Editor part of a DropDownGB

[Kevin Self]

When using a dropdowngridbox component, if the text contains html tags, the tags are not rendered in the actual display box where the selected valus is shown, however the values are rendered properly in the dropdown portion of the control.

For example, if I created a dropdowngridbox that was populated with look values that were like:

"<b>hello</b> There"
"<b>One</b> Two"
"<b>No</b> One"

The Drop down list of values would show the values properly (bolded first word). However the selected portion of the drop down control (editable part), the actual text "<b>hello</b> There" for example would appear unformatted. Changing the control so that the text can not be edited has no effect.

Yes, this is correct. The HTMLish formatting is available for non-editor Components currently. Although this includes GridBox, DropDown does not fall in this category. This would be a nice feature to have in the future. I'm reclassifying this as a feature request.
