You haven't stated widgetset, but I'm guessing GTK2

If so, good news: you're doing nothing wrong.

Bad news:

My memory (not what it was...) also says that in the Object Inspector there
is a note to this affect when you click on DropDownCount.   Oh, I've just
double checked.  UI has changed since I last looked, but select select
TComboBox, then switch to the "Restricted" tab of the Object Inspector.
You'll see various OS icons on the different properties.  They are the
widgetsets that property doesn't work on.
