One way to check is to see whether the feature is mentioned in design pattern collections:

I found your feature in these collections:

Date Selector
http://www.welie.com/patterns/showPattern.php?patternID=date-selector
(from: http://www.welie.com/patterns/index.html)

Calendar Picker
http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/pattern.php?pattern=calendar
(from: http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/index.php)

And the feature is related to these I found elsewhere:

Dropdown Chooser
http://designinginterfaces.com/Dropdown_Chooser
(from: http://designinginterfaces.com/)

http://harbinger.sims.berkeley.edu/ui_designpatterns/webpatterns2/webpatterns/pattern.php?id=6
(from: http://harbinger.sims.berkeley.edu/ui_designpatterns/webpatterns2/webpatterns/home.php)

I could not find it here:
http://designlibrary.blinkinteractive.com/

And if you want to find it elsewhere, there's a collection of collections here: http://www.squidoo.com/uidesignpatterns/
