SWT.DROP_DOWN style has no effect on DateTime widget

Under Windows 7 64bit Enterprise the SWT.DROP_DOWN style has no 
effect on the DateTime widget.  The widget does not show the date 
in a combo box with a dropdown button.  It shows in the default 
with the up/down spin buttons that are found on the Spin widget.

Below is a slightly modified version of Snippet250 to test out 
this issue.

     shell.pack ();
     shell.open ();
     while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {
         if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
     }
     display.dispose ();
}


I have tried it with and without the border even tried it with 
just SWT.DROP_DOWN style and that did not work either.  This is 
not a critical issue I just wanted to bring it to someones 
attention.  I am not sure what version of SWT DWT is based on 
these days so I don't know what version of DWT I have.  I just 
downloaded a fresh copy of DWT a couple of weeks ago.

I am using dmd v2.064 and rdmd build 20131011

I compiled the code above with the following line from my install 
of dwt directory.

rdmd build swtsnippets[Snippet250]
