Well, part of the problem may be that Morphic isn't too much like most widget sets. :-)  It contains a lot of examples and useful items, but it is missing a few "standard" items like a single-line text entry field and a pull-down combo box widget.

The first attribute should be easy, I think the entry field in BobsUI handles that by default.  (Or you can do a little extra hacking like Ned mentioned to do this.)

The second is a little trickier, but should be doable for an experienced hacker.  Hopefully someone will get around to creating one of these widgets soon, so it can be added to the stable of widgets.
