ComboPlus - the powerful extended ComboBox

ComboPlus

Extended Replacement for ComboBox

Although one of the most used controls in a programmers toolbox, the standard ComboBox control suffers from some major limitations when used in modern applications, including a lack of support for images, formatting and AutoComplete.

ComboPlus is an extended replacement for the standard ComboBox control, providing a wealth of additional features which make it easier for you to program and allow you to deliver more functionality in less time.

ComboPlus Features

AutoComplete: Automatically select the best match as you are typing, saving time selecting items from a long list

Image Support: Show images next to items on the drop down list in both normal and selected states

Item by Item formatting: Choose fonts, formatting options and colors on an item by item basis

XP Themes: Support for Windows XP Visual Themes

Drive List: Using the Style property, a ComboPlus control instantly becomes a system drive list

Font List: Another Style turns the ComboPlus control into a WYSIWYG font list, with an abc representation of each system font

OwnerDraw: Extend and tweak the standard functionality using powerful and easy to use ownerdraw functionality

Value and Key: Each ComboPlus item can have Text, DisplayText and a Key - an end to the cumbersome ItemData array provided by the standard ComboBox control
