Description

TcxCustomComboBoxProperties

Stores combo box settings. If you access a combo box as a TcxCustomComboBox object, you need to cast the Properties property value to the corresponding editor settings class to be able to access all public API members: TcxCheckComboBoxProperties Provides properties specific to check combo box controls. TcxColorComboBoxProperties Stores color combo box settings. TcxComboBoxProperties Stores combo box editor settings. TcxFontNameComboBoxProperties Stores settings of a font name combo box editor (also called font picker). TcxImageComboBoxProperties Stores image combo box editor settings. TcxLookupComboBoxProperties Contains settings controlling the behavior of TcxLookupComboBox and TcxDBLookupComboBox editors. TcxMRUEditProperties Contains settings specific to MRU editors. Tip You can call the Properties.ClassType function to identify the actual editor settings class. Alternatively, you can call the GetPropertiesClass function.

Remarks

You can use the Properties property to access and customize combo box settings if the RepositoryItem property is unspecified. If a repository item is assigned to the RepositoryItem property, all settings accessible through the Properties property have no effect on the combo box editor.

You can set the Properties.Revertable property to True to allow users to click a combo box editor to cycle through its values. Properties.DropDownAutoWidth, Properties.DropDownListStyle Properties.DropDownRows, Properties.DropDownSizeable, and Properties.DropDownWidth properties allow you to customize a combo box drop-down window.

Refer to the TcxCustomComboBoxProperties class description for detailed information on all available options.

Tip

You can use the ActiveProperties property to identify settings that currently affect the combo box.
