A DropDownButton can be associated with a dropdown control via the DropDownButton.DropDownControl property. This control is invoked in a popup window when the button or dropdown arrow button is clicked, according to the DropDownArrowStyle property. To prevent a dropdown control from being invoked, disable the DropDownButton.ActAsDropDown option.
