At some point in my program the user must select one of N strings.
N is variable, that is it can change during execution and thus
strings can be added/removed.
It is straightforward to implement a listbox to offer the user
the selection, but I can't afford the space on the window, (let
alone the fact that N is variable).  Also it is desirable to have
the most recet selection show as a one line text field.
 
Are there any recommendations about what type of entity will better
serve my purposes?  I have looked through several of the examples
around and couldn't find something similar.

Any help will be appreciated.
