If you had a color input combo box which had three fields, it should be 
an extension of the ComboBoxBase class, which does not contain the text 
property (it is a property of the ComboBox subclass). This means you can 
expose whatever is relevant for you, which might be redText, blueText 
and greenText string properties, for example, and you would not be 
burdened with the text property in ComboBox.
