Getting bored of the Windows ComboBox ??? Have scenarios in which you want to show multiple columns[Virtually Unlimited !!!] in the DropDown. Want the Columns to have Headers to specify their meanings ??? Want the user to dynamically switch the Look and feel of the Control and the Columns to de displayed ??? Then this control is for you. It's written in C# from scratch by extending the Windows ComboBox. I Started this project when I was in need of displaying extra information to the user without spending extra number of controls. This ComboBox is inspired from MTG's Flat MultiColumn comboBox[url to code included in the Inspirations Design Time Menu Command]. Please give your 2 minutes to vote it. I know your time is very very precious but think of my hours of Effort to make this control. I had taken very sharp eye to make it as much Object Oriented as possible. The coding conventions are consistent throughout the project plus the comments and the updates are also mentioned in uniform way. You will find a lot from this project other than the Control itself. Please Vote!

I've tried 5 different .NET multicolumn comboboxes and this is the best one I've found so far. The best thing about it is that the developer is continuing to work on it to make it even better. He is very open to help, suggestions and feedback so please if you download this code take the time to vote and contact him to tell him how you like the control. I did and I have been rewarded with an open dialogue on how to improve the product for my application. Great work Syed!
P.S. If you encounter a bug where the list populates but is blank, try changing the following code in the Designer Generated Code
FROM
MzkColumnCollection1.CurrentColumn = Nothing
Me.comboTest.Columns = MzkColumnCollection1
TO
Me.comboTest.DataSource = Nothing
Me.comboTest.DisplayColumnNames = Nothing
That did the trick for me!

Hi, first of all, pls excuse my english! I try to use this combo in a project but, I found a problem (for me!): In list is for example 5 items that have in first column the same value.If I select row 3 when the control lose focus, the selected item is automaticaly changed to first. How can I avoid this behavior? Thank you!

Hello everybody, I guess it's too late to ask, but I'm hard on something like changing the color to the title of the columns, that because I think those colors are very clear and do not clearly understand what you say, I hope some help about this, thanks.

That you very very much. this is a great dropdown multicolumn. i have two suggestions though,
after i select an item from the dropdownlist with mouse click a messagebox show -1, please make it show the column value of the selected item in the messagebox. second suggestion is, as i type in the box it should dropdown the list automatically and select the item i was typing.
