I believe it may be related to what datatypes was defined in your Definition.xml for your custom control:

The OOTB drop-down list control will have ‘Text’ as default data type:

Your custom control may need include ‘Text’ as a Datatype in its Definition.xml.

The current Data Type of the control in question will also dictate which type of control you can change it to.

The same control with the Text datatype can be changed to more control Types than the same control with a DateTime datatype:
