In the onload event of the <body> tag it is necessary to specify the call of the createCombo() function. Add input editor with a drop-down panel to the page and implement the ValueChanged event handler:

var combo;
function createCombo() {
    // Create input editor with a drop-down panel
    combo = new PP.Ui.Combo({
        // Set paren item
        ParentNode: document.getElementById("combo"),
        // Set width
        Width: 100,
        // Set attribute of editors creation
        NoCreateEditors: false,
        /* Set the attribute that the tooltip is visible on hovering the mouse over 
        the button of the drop-down panel opening */
        IsHint: true,
        /* Set an attribute of the drop-down panel opening 
        on clicking the header */
        OpenOnContentClick: true,
        /* Set an attribute of the drop-down panel opening 
        on clicking the component icon */
        OpenOnIconClick: true,
        /* Set an attribute of the drop-down panel closing 
        on the component contents clicking */
        CloseOnContentClick: true,
        // Set icon to the left of the component
        IconPosition: PP.LTRB.Left,
        /* Set the attribute that the drop-down width ignores 
        input editor width */
        IsDropHasCombosWidth: false,
        // Set an icon of the input editor
        IconUrl: "../build/img/app/icons16x16.png",
        // Handle the event of icon clicking in the input editor
        IconClick: function(sender, args) {            
            console.log("Icon is clicked in the input editor");        
        },
        // Handle the event of value change in the input editor
        ValueChanged: function(sender, args) {            
            console.log("Value is changed in the input editor");        
        },
    });
    // Put the text in the drop-down panel
    var panel = combo.getDropPanel();    
    panel.setContent("Text");
    // Set width of the drop-down panel
    panel.setWidth(200);
}

// Get sizes of the icon put in the input editor
console.log("Icon height: " + combo.getIconHeight());

combo.setContent("");
// Set characters available to input in the text box of the input editor
var textBox = combo.getTextBox();
textBox.setAllowedSymbols(['1', '2', '3', '4']);
// Set highlighting of invalid input
combo.applyNotValidCSS();

Print the 12345 text in the input editor. As a result, in the text box of the input editor there is highlighting of invalid input and there is the following text: 1234:

var iconImageList = new PP.ImageList({

        Source: "../build/img/app/help.png",
        //size of images in the sprite
