As a PhD student studying in applied IT, part of the outputs from my thesis is the user interface to a telemetry system. For this project, I needed a combobox that could be used to display pictures and icons as well as text, without the need to learn jquery, override combobox styles, or write complicated compound extension controls based on the Windows combobox, list box, text box, image control and others.
After searching the web for quite a while, I came across the Obout combobox, part of the ASP.NET control suite. The combobox control integrated perfectly into my project. Obout provided numerous code examples of utilisation of the control, performs data binding and all the necessary .NET functions. In short, it fills in all of the gaps in the Windows combobox functionality - everything that you ever wanted in a combobox, you can find here.
I'm going to be taking this to my company, and recommending they license it for their future software developments in ASP.NET.
In short, if you need access to Windows controls that go beyond the basic functionality of the common control library, the Obout control set adds functions that you might think of and then find don't exist in the Windows standard control library. Give the Obout controls a try. I think they will exceed your expectations. They certainly met all my requirements, and their ease of use exceeded my expectations.
