  • pull-down list — (operating system)   (Or "drop-down list") A graphical user interface component that allows the user to choose one (or sometimes more than one) item from a list. The current choice is visible in a small rectangle and when the user clicks on it, a list of items is revealed below it.

The user may then select an item from the menu or click elsewhere, in either case the menu contents are hidden again.
