You can get or set a CSS class name to add to the controls drop-down element. The property is useful when you are styling the drop-down element, because it is shown as a child of the document body rather than as a child of the control itself, which prevents using CSS selectors based on the parent control. You can use this property to display multiple columns in a ComboBox dropdown.

The following code example demonstrates how to enable multi-column using DropDownCssClass property. This example uses the sample created in the Quick Start section.

DropDownCssClass property is available in the following Input DropDown controls;

• InputColor
• InputDate
• AutoComplete, ComboBox
• InputTime
• MultiSelect
• Menu

The following image shows how the Menu appears after applying the DropDownCssClass property:
