A PopupControlContainer object represents a panel that can contain any controls. This panel can be displayed as a dropdown for DropDownButton controls, bar buttons and the Ribbon Application Button. The following image shows a PopupControlContainer panel, containing various zoom options, that is displayed as a dropdown for a Zoom button:
A PopupControlContainer object can be created at design time by dragging the PopupControlContainer component from the Toolbox onto the form. After the panel has been created, you can add controls to it, and then bind the panel to a specific DropDownButton control, bar button or Ribbon Application button.
To associate a PopupControlContainer object with a DropDownButton control, use the DropDownButton.DropDownControl property.
To associate a PopupControlContainer object with a bar button, assign the container to the BarButtonItem.DropDownControl property. The BarButtonItem.ButtonStyle property must be set to BarButtonStyle.DropDown and the BarButtonItem.DropDownEnabled property must be set to true, to enable the dropdown functionality.
To associate a PopupControlContainer object with the Application Button within a Ribbon Form, assign the container to the RibbonControl.ApplicationButtonDropDownControl property.
A PopupControlContainer is never displayed at runtime as a standalone panel. It can only be displayed as a dropdown.
