Not sure what it is you are looking for; the code that handles such controls and their output...or where to find such gui objects? If the latter then:

Drop down menus can be found from the control panel:

Control palette -> Dialog controls -> Dialog ring
or
Control palette -> Ring and Enum -> Menu ring

Check list:

Control palette -> List and table -> listbox

You can use any of the ring controls to generate a drop down list. The ring controls are found on the Controls >> Ring & Enum palette. You program the drop down items the same way with any of these controls. Type the first drop down item on the control. Right click on the control and select "add item after". The controls text field will blank out and you can enter your second item. Repeat for every item on the list you need to generate. After you are done entering items, click on the control with the application tool and you will see a drop down menu of all the items you entered.
