"All the UI components highlighted above have exactly one thing in common: they support users' interactions with lists. However, they do so slightly differently. Let's take a look at each, one by one: Dropdown → list is hidden until it's triggered. Combobox → type to filter + select 1 option. Multiselect → type to filter + select many options. Listbox → all list options visible by default (+ scroll). Dual listbox → move items between 2 listboxes."
"In other words, Combobox combines a text input field with a dropdown list, so users can type to filter and select a single option. With Multiselect, users can select many options (often displayed as pills or chips). Listboxes display all list options visible by default, often with scrolling. It's helpful when users need to see all available choices immediately. Dual listbox (also called transfer list) is a variation of a listbox that allows users to move items between two listboxes (left ↔ right),"
Dropdown hides the list until triggered, suitable when screen space is limited and options are not frequently needed. Combobox combines a text input with a dropdown so users can type to filter and select a single option. Multiselect provides typing to filter and the ability to select multiple options, often displayed as chips or pills. Listbox shows all options by default (with scrolling), which helps users scan and compare choices immediately. Dual listbox (transfer list) lets users move items between two lists for bulk selection. Selection should consider number of options and whether options must be visible by default; never hide frequently used options.
