What is the "Active Files" control in VS IDE?

I am wondering if there is a control available in C# to display a downward
triangle, and show the list box with roll up and roll down triangles if the
files number is out of range?

Gary,

Do you mean on a Menu control?

It sounds like you're talking about a Combo Box.

This is a control shown up when the number of open files is exceed a certain
number. The label for this control is a downward triangle, by which will
display the other files not shown in current tabs. This is like some sort of
overflow parking lot. You put the files couldn't be displayed in the tabs
there.

Is it built from an existing control?

Gary,

I know what you mean, it is over on the right hand side of the code
window in the VS.NET IDE when there are too many open tabs.

This is a custom control, obviously. It's integrated into the IDE (and
part of a larger control, I imagine).

You can emulate this yourself, all you have to do is create a window
(could be a normal control), and when you click on it, you can show a menu.
I'm pretty sure this is what the IDE does.
