Remarks
Depending on the DropDownShowMode property value, a TokenEdit drop-down list can be displayed in two different modes. In Outlook mode, the drop-down list starts from the cursor position and occupies the width according to the longest token caption available. As an end-user keeps adding tokens, the drop-down follows the cursor further and further to the editor’s right edge. The figure below illustrates this drop-down show mode.
When in Regular (or Default) mode, the drop-down list is always displayed starting from the editor’s left edge and occupies the width equal to the editor’s width. See the figure below for an example.
You can also completely disable the drop-down list by setting the RepositoryItemTokenEdit.ShowDropDown property to false. Refer to the Token Edit Control topic to learn more.
