+/// A dropdown widget
+///
+/// **Styling**:
+/// You can modify the behavior of the dropdown through the `CloseOnAccept` property.
+/// If the property is set to `true` the dropdown will automatically close when an item is selected.
+/// If the property is set to `false` the dropwown will not automatically close when an item is selected.
+/// The default is `true`.
+/// Styling Example:
+/// ```rust
+/// # use floem::widgets::dropdown;
+/// # use floem::views::empty;
+/// # use floem::views::Decorators;
+/// // root view
+/// empty()
+///     .style(|s|
+///         s.class(dropdown::DropDownClass, |s| {
+///             s.set(dropdown::CloseOnAccept, false)
+///         })
+///  );
