    Drop Down Interaction
    In This Topic

    Users can interact with items in the drop-down box, or with the C1DropDown control itself at run time. By default users can interact with controls placed within the drop-down box. For example, if you place a button or drop-down box within the C1DropDown control, it will be clickable by users at run time.

    To add a Button control to the drop-down box add <Button Height="23" Name="button1" Width="75">Hello World!</Button> within the <c1:C1DropDown> tag so that it appears similar to the following:

    XAML
    Copy Code 
    <c1:C1DropDown Height="30" Name="c1DropDown1" Width="100">
    <Button Height="23" Name="button1" Width="75">Hello World!</Button>
</c1:C1DropDown>

     

    To add a Button control to the drop-down box, add code to the page's constructor so it appears like the following:

    Visual Basic
    Copy Code 
    Public Sub New()
    InitializeComponent()
    Dim C1Button1 as New Button
    C1Button1.Content = "Hello World!"
    C1DropDown1.Content = c1button1
End Sub

    C#
    Copy Code 
    public Window1()
//or public MainPage() in Silverlight
{
    InitializeComponent();
    Button c1button1 = new Button();
    c1button1.Content = "Hello World!";
    c1DropDown1.Content = c1button1;
}
    To add multiple items to the C1DropDown control, add a Grid or other panel to the C1DropDown control, and add items to that panel.
