Under Windows 7 64bit Enterprise the SWT.DROP_DOWN style has no
effect on the DateTime widget. The widget does not show the date
in a combo box with a dropdown button. It shows in the default
with the up/down spin buttons that are found on the Spin widget.
Below is a slightly modified version of Snippet250 to test out
this issue.

I have tried it with and without the border even tried it with
just SWT.DROP_DOWN style and that did not work either. This is
not a critical issue I just wanted to bring it to someones
attention. I am not sure what version of SWT DWT is based on
these days so I don't know what version of DWT I have. I just
downloaded a fresh copy of DWT a couple of weeks ago.
I am using dmd v2.064 and rdmd build 20131011
I compiled the code above with the following line from my install
of dwt directory.
rdmd build swtsnippets[Snippet250]
