Accesing WinCE ComboBox DroppedDown property (.NET CF 2.0)
- by PabloG
I'm implementing custom behavior sub-classing the form controls, but I cannot manage to access the DroppedDown property of the ComboBox. Looking in the help, it's supposed to be supported in CF.NET 2.0:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Data;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace xCustomControls
{
public partial class xComboBox : System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
{
private ComboBox comboBox1;
public xComboBox()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(this.KeyDownHandler);
}
private void KeyDownHandler(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
// DroppedDown doesn't appear in the IntelliSense of ComboBox.
// or this.comboBox1.
if (((ComboBox)sender).DroppedDown) // fail!
return;
switch (e.KeyData)
{
case Keys.Up:
case Keys.Enter:
case Keys.Down:
e.Handled = true;
this.Parent.SelectNextControl((Control)sender, e.KeyData != Keys.Up, true, true, true);
...
fails with 'System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox' does not contain a definition for 'DroppedDown' and no extension method 'DroppedDown' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox' could be found
How can I access the property?
TIA,
Pablo
