TcxCustomDropDownEdit Class

Serves as the base class for classes that implement editors with a popup window.

Declaration

TcxCustomDropDownEdit = class(
    TcxCustomMaskEdit
)

Remarks

End-users can click the dropdown arrow within the editor to activate the popup window. To close and open this window, end-users can press the Alt+Up arrow, Alt+Down arrow, or F4 keys. These keystrokes call the CloseUp method with the AAccept parameter set to True. This forces the editor to change the edit value to the one selected in the popup window. When the popup window is active, pressing the Esc key discards the user selection, closes the popup window, and restores the previously selected value in the editor.

Do not create instances of the TcxCustomDropDownEdit class. Use its descendants such as TcxComboBox and TcxPopupEdit instead.
