Combobox with checked list box.

Can anyone help me about how to create combo box with its items as
checked boxes or radio buttons. This has to be done in C#. I have seen
something similar to this named custom combo boxes but they are in MFC
I have to remain constrained only in C#.
I have tried to add checked listbox in combobox drop down list but it
is showing in text format i.e. name of the control added, if I change
display property of combobox with some property of the object
referenced by the datasource of combobox then nothing is visible in
drop down list of combobox.

Hi Morten,

This is rely fantastic solution. This can serve the purpose. But surely
this will be the last solution for me.
Is there any way to replace combobox list view by checkedlistbox. This
can be done in C++ with help of subclassing. Can it be done here with
help of subclassing.

Regards,
Saurabh Jain.

I have a table with products, tblProducts, some of them are Active while others are Inactive. The form shows all the products purchased by a customer, both Active and Inactive in a ComboBox, cbProducts. My client wants to view all...

Hi, Does anyone know a way to make a combobox "read-only", similar to the read-only property of a textbox? In essence, make a combobox readonly...making the combobox text not gray out but be disabled. There is no readonly property for a combobox like there is for a text box. Thx, Jason

I have a combobox with items like this: {one,two,three}. The selected index is 0, so "one" appears in the combobox text. When the user drops down the list, and selects "two", for example, I modify the Items collection to be {two,one,three} and now want "two" to appear in the combobox text. However, the combobox text is now blank. the is apparently somehow the result of having changed the combobox.Items collection. If, trying to fix...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
