I was wondering if it's possible to use a TreeView as the drop-down of a combo box in win forms like you can in ASP.NET?

Hello Joel,

Thanks for your question.

It is possible to create a custom control which shows a custom pop up window. Take a look at the following code snippet:

RadTreeView treeView = new RadTreeView(); 
RadTreeNode treeNode = new RadTreeNode("Node 1"); 
RadTreeNode childNode = new RadTreeNode("Child of 1"); 
RadTreeNode childNode2 = new RadTreeNode("Child 2 of 1"); 
 
treeNode.Nodes.Add(childNode); 
treeNode.Nodes.Add(childNode2); 
treeView.Nodes.Add(treeNode); 
 
 
RadTreeNode treeNode1 = new RadTreeNode("Node 1"); 
RadTreeNode childNode1 = new RadTreeNode("Child of 1"); 
RadTreeNode childNode12 = new RadTreeNode("Child 2 of 1"); 
 
treeNode1.Nodes.Add(childNode1); 
treeNode1.Nodes.Add(childNode12); 
treeView.Nodes.Add(treeNode1); 
 
         
treeView.MinimumSize = new Size(100, 350); 
treeView.ThemeName = "ControlDefault"
RadHostItem radHostItem = new RadHostItem(treeView); 
             
this.radComboBox1.Items.Add(radHostItem); 
 
this.radComboBox1.ComboBoxElement.DropDownMinSize = new Size(310, 400); 

I am using a regular RadTreeView control and a RadHostItem instance which hosts the RadTreeView. After that I am adding the RadHostItem to the Items collection of the RadComboBox.

Note that due to some issues within the RadHostItem you will have to set the MinimumSize property of the RadTreeView and the DropDownMinSize property of the RadComboBox. The DropDownMinSize of the RadComboBox should be bigger than the RadTreeView's.

I hope this will help you to achieve the desired behavior.

Do not hesitate to write back if you need further assistance.
