UltraDropDown vs. UltraCombo: The All Too Popular Question
posted

I'm attempting to create a custom control which inherits from UltraDropDown. With it I want to be able to replace numerous drop downs, ultra combo editors and combo editors within the system. Firstly however, the ultra drop down itself does not contain a "ComboBox" like appearance which a user can click a button to view data. 

In an effort to throw this control into a grid cell I also included an UltraComboEditor within my custom control to satisfy the EditorComponent property of a grid column. This all works as expected.

My problems become when I want to replace an UltraCombo in the system. I cannot simply replace it with this inherited control as it has no drop down button, rather appears more as a grid.

I've exhausted some ideas as to how to solve this with no success and figured I would ask before I contend to making a second custom control inheriting from UltraCombo.

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance.
