As mentioned by @MMRUser, the ChoiceField is the form class to achieve an HTML select element.

But for the model itself, you can pass the choices argument to a model field (typically a CharField) which will result in the ModelForm using an HTML select element.

There's no such thing as a ComboBox in Django (or in HTML). I assume you are talking about a ChoiceField, which renders a select control in HTML.

You access the value of a ChoiceField in exactly the same way as any other field, once the form has been submitted and validated - by accessing form.cleaned_data['fieldname'].

You should read the excellent documentation on forms.
