A text box is a control that only shows the one value.

A Combo Box, allows the user to select a value from a drop down list, which is only visible when the user clicks on the drop down list. And only displays a single value.

A List box is similar to a Combo Box. But it's list is always visible and can show a number of columns as well. List boxes can also be set up to allow multiple selections.
