Usage Guidelines

DoUse clear and concise labels that accurately describe the purpose or function of the MultiColumnComboBox.

Don'tAvoid using the MultiColumnComboBox without a label as this compromises the intuitiveness of the component, leading to confusion and frustration.

Purpose

However, it's crucial to avoid its use when dealing with simpler data sets as this may introduce unnecessary complexity.

DoUse the MultiColumnComboBox to present complex data with multiple related columns in a compact and user-friendly dropdown interface.
