DropDown Control Description

The DDButton control for MS .Net allows developers to build custom drop-down and auto-complete controls with literally few lines of code. The Demo Kit contains source code of several ready-to-use controls including auto-complete tool, drop-down treeview, grid, tabbed dialog, etc The DDButton control will allow developers to build custom drop-down and auto-complete controls with literally few lines of code. Technically, the drop-down control you implement using DDButton has three elements: - The DDButton control. - The parent control(s) that saves the user input. This can be the DDButton control itself, or any other control (e.g., a text box, picture box, etc.). - The form to be dropped down. The DDButton control may be used as a container (control property IsContainer=True) or as a standalone control (IsContainer=False). When you use DDButton as a container, it is automatically made a parent control. And, in the most simple case you can use the DDButton control's Text property to display the user input from the drop-down form. The DDButton control supports automatic resizing based on the font size. So, the control you create as described above will look just like a regular combo box. To allow users edit the text in the control, place a text box inside the DDButton control. Since DDButton supports docking, your text box can resize automatically when the DDButton control is resized. To display anything else but the text (e.g., an icon next to a user name), you can place any controls you need inside the DDButton control. The control on the picture above is comprised of two image controls and two edit boxes inside a DDButton control. When DDButton is used as standalone control, you can bind a parent control from the code Together with the possibility to programmatically drop (at custom location) and hide the drop-down form this in fact allows developers to use any control as "drop down button".
