- exclude_tree

Other Parameters
It is possible, but not confirmed, some of the parameters for the function get_pages could be used for wp_dropdown_pages. Here's the default settings for the get_pages parameters
<?php $args = array(
'child_of' => 0,
'sort_order' => 'ASC',
'sort_column' => 'post_title',
'hierarchical' => 1,
'exclude' => ,
'include' => ,
'meta_key' => ,
'meta_value' => ,
'authors' => ,
'exclude_tree' => ,
'post_type' => 'page'
);
?>
With the 'post_type' parameter you can get a drop down of any post type, including custom post types, as long as the post type in question is hierarchical.
Examples
