I don't understand what you are talking about your "suspicions". As you 
didn't explain what you were searching exactly, I couldn't give you more 
details.

The source code of the ComboBox control is in the QT toolkit source 
code. What you find in the gb.qt4 source code is just the wrapper. And 
as ComboBox is sometimes a TextBox, its wrapper source code in the same 
source code file as the TextBox wrapper.
