Drop Down

Implement single item selection that's simple to setup and powerful to use with DropDown for WPF and Silverlight. DropDown for WPF and Silverlight provides a simple drop-down box control that offers more flexibility than a traditional drop-down box. The flexibility allows you to add controls to the C1DropDown or create a search box.


Make the most of DropDown for WPF and Silverlight by taking advantage of the following key features:

  • Three Drop-down Controls

DropDown for WPF and Silverlight includes three drop-down controls to give you flexibility in your applications. C1DropDown is similar to a traditional drop-down control allowing you to choose from a selection of items, C1DropDownButton works like a drop-down control but looks like a button, C1SplitButton has two parts: the header and the arrow which you can customize so that clicking in the arrow will open the drop-down list, and pressing in the header button will typically apply the current selection.

  • Create Specialized Drop-down Editors

The C1DropDown control gives you complete control to create specialized drop-down editors. Attach your own logic to the spin buttons and your own drop-down form/editor to the drop-down button. For example, you could place a DataGrid in the drop-down portion and code its row selection event to display a value from that row in the C1DropDown header portion.

  • Expand Above or Below the Header

Configure the drop-down to display above or below the header portion with the DropDownDirection property. Or set the direction preference the control will use if there is allowable space on the form.

  • AutoClose

Full control over when and whether the drop-down closes with the AutoClose property.

  • Sizable Drop-down List

You can explicitly set the width and height of the drop-down box or have it sized automatically to fit the content.
