I'm just looking at this now... One difference from combobox is that
newcombobox is much more like a base component -- it does less to
define subview structure than combobox did, so you have to do more
work to use it. When I integrate it into the components I'll include
an "lz" class that has similar look-and-feel to combobox so that it
is easier to use.
Here's a new version of lps/components/incubator/test/newcombobox-
test.lzx that is close to that "lz" class:
<canvas>
<include href="../newcombobox.lzx"/>
<!-- note that currently we are only using the first frame from
the lft and mid
resources. -->
<resource name="lzcombobox_lft_rsc">
<frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/combobox_lft_up.swf" />
<frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/popup_lft_up.swf" />
<frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/
combobox_lft_dsbl.swf" />
<frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/popup_lft_dsbl.swf" />
</resource>
<resource name="lzcombobox_mid_rsc">
<frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/combobox_mid_up.swf" />
<frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/popup_mid_up.swf" />
<frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/
combobox_mid_dsbl.swf" />
<frame src="../../lz/resources/combobox/popup_mid_dsbl.swf" />
</resource>
<resource name="lzcombobox_rgt_rsc">

</resource>
<class name="simplecombobox" extends="newcombobox" width="100">
<view width="100%" height="20" focusable="false" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<view name="lft" resource="lzcombobox_lft_rsc"/>
<view name="mid" resource="lzcombobox_mid_rsc"
stretches="width"/>
<basebutton name="rgt" resource="lzcombobox_rgt_rsc"
styleable="true">
<method event="onclick">
LzFocus.setFocus(this,false);
classroot.toggle();
</method>
</basebutton>
<stableborderlayout axis="x"/>
</view>
<newcombobox_text width="${ parent.width - 19 }" x="7" />
</class>
<dataset name="dsHours">
<item value="1">1</item>
<item value="2">2</item>
<item value="3">3</item>

What do you have to do to get the newcombobox displaying properly?
I found some examples in the forums but the only one that half
works is the
one that extends newcombobox and does something crazy that I don't
understand with toggling classroot.

If I use the newcombobox by itself, nothing shows up.
this is the sort of code I'm trying to use...
<newcombobox id="cbvin" width="200"
itemdatapath="symbol_year:/resultset/result"
textdatapath="@modelyear"
valuedatapath="@id" />

Deleting the incubator copy of floatinglist may do the trick. You may
also have to edit newcombobox to change the include path for
floatinglist.
I'm going to get LPP-1389 ("Move newcombobox into components from
incubator") resolved for Sage, and I'll make sure the two work
together. So if you will be able to move to 3.2 when it comes out
next week, you'll have a solution then.

Hmm... so is there any way you can think of that I can use both
types of
comboboxes in my app at the same time?
Possibly making a copy of the files and/or renaming classes or
something?

That's because newcombobox uses an alternate implementation of
floatinglist in the incubator, and that implementation is
incompatible with the one in the components (uses the same class
names).
I would actually like to kill this alternate implementation of
floatinglist because all it does is change the look to use a square
box instead of a box with an end cap.
In any case, if we were to move newcombobox into the components it
would use the "production" version of floatinglist and would be
compatible with combobox.

I am unable to use combobox and newcombobox in the same app.
If you compile the sample code below, you get a compilation error...
incubator/floatinglist.lzx:16:33: duplicate class definitions for
_floatshadow; also defined at lz/floatinglist.lzx:36
Is there a trick to doing this that I'm missing?
<canvas>
<include href="incubator/newcombobox.lzx"/>
<simplelayout/>
<combobox/>
<newcomboboxex/>
</canvas>
