NativeSelect is a drop-down selection component implemented with the native selection input of web browsers, using the HTML \<select> element.

```java
// Create the selection component
NativeSelect select = new NativeSelect("Native Selection");

// Add some items
select.addItems("Mercury", "Venus", ...);
```

The setColumns() allows setting the width of the list as "columns", which is a measure that depends on the browser.
