<h5 id="C1_Win_FlexGrid_CellStyle_DataMap_remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>If the cell is editable, this list of values is used to populate the drop-down
<a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.combobox">ComboBox</a> used to edit the cell. In this case, the order of the items in the
combo list is determined by the order of the elements in the dictionary.</p>
<p>The most common dictionary class, <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.collections.hashtable">Hashtable</a>, uses arbitrary order. 
If you want control over the item order, use a different dictionary class such as
<a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.collections.specialized.listdictionary">ListDictionary</a>.</p>
<p>The C1FlexGrid assembly also includes a <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.MultiColumnDictionary.html">MultiColumnDictionary</a> class, 
which can be used to create multi-column and data-bound dictionaries.</p>
