ComboPlus 1.3.111

Although one of the most used controls in a programmers toolbox, the standard ComboBox control suffers from some major limitations when used in modern applications, including a lack of support for images, formatting and AutoComplete.
ComboPlus is an ActiveX control which was designed as an extended replacer for the standard ComboBox control, providing a wealth of additional features which make it easier for you to program and allow you to deliver more functionality in less time.
Main features:
- AutoComplete: Automatically select the best match as you are typing, saving time selecting items from a long list;
- Image Support: Show images next to items on the drop down list in both normal and selected states;
- Item by Item formatting: Choose fonts, formatting options and colors on an item by item basis;
- XP Themes: Support for Windows XP Visual Themes;
- Drive List: Using the Style property, a ComboPlus control instantly becomes a system drive list;
- Font List: Another Style turns the ComboPlus control into a WYSIWYG font list, with an abc representation of each system font;
- OwnerDraw: Extend and tweak the standard functionality using powerful and easy to use ownerdraw functionality;
- Checkboxes: Include a checkbox for the combo, and/or for individual items in the list;
- Value and Key: Each ComboPlus item can have Text, DisplayText and a Key - an end to the cumbersome ItemData array provided by the standard ComboBox control;
- History: ComboPlus can automatically add items typed manually by the user.
