DropDown Method (UltraComboEditor)

Displays the list portion of the control.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function DropDown() As Boolean
public bool DropDown()

Return Value

A boolean indicating whether the dropdown list was displayed.
Remarks

If the list portion is already visible, the DropDown method does nothing and returns true.

When the DropDown method is called, the BeforeDropDown event is fired. If the event is canceled, the list portion is not displayed, and the AfterDropDown event is not fired. In that case, the DropDown method will return false.

Example
THis example demonstrates how the DropDown and CloseUp methods can be used to programmatically show or hide the dropdown list.
