Setting          Description

 

0                   (Default) Dropdown Combo.  Includes a drop-down list and an edit area.  The user can select from the list or type in the edit area.

1                   Simple Combo.  Includes an edit area and a list that is always displayed.  The user can select from the list or type in the edit area.  The size of a Simple Combo box includes both the edit and list portions.  By default, a Simple Combo box is sized so that none of the list shows.  Increase the HeightL14VJZ property to show more of the list.

2                   Dropdown List.  This style only allows selection from the drop-down list.

 

Remarks

Follow these guidelines in deciding which setting to choose:

         Use setting 0 (Dropdown Combo) or setting 1 (Simple Combo) to give the user a list of choices.  Either style enables the user to enter a choice in the edit area.  Style 0 saves space on the form because the list portion closes when the user makes a selection.

         Use setting 2 (Dropdown List) to display a fixed list of choices from which the user can select one.  The list portion closes when the user selects an item.
