[REVIEW REQUEST] Add text property to ComboBox

[Jonathan Giles]

Yes, the text value would be set on every keystroke - it would be bound 
to the text property on TextField, which works in precisely this manner.

Also, you're correct, the text property would only be useful in edit 
mode. In non-edit mode the property will never change.
