PopupControlContainer Class

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.

A PopupControlContainer object can be created at design time by dragging the PopupControlContainer component from the Toolbox onto a form.

After the panel has been created, you can add controls to it, and then bind the panel to a specific control using the following properties:

• for a DropDownButton control—use the DropDownButton.DropDownControl property;
• for a bar button—use 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;
• for the Ribbon Application Button—use the RibbonControl.ApplicationButtonDropDownControl property.
