# OverflowPrimitive

The OverflowPrimitive is a visual indicator and button that more choices are available. The OverflowPrimitive consists of a triangle and a line just under the base of the triangle. The triangle and line are colored using the **ForeColor** property. Depending on the **Direction** property of the arrow, **BackColor** and **ShadowColor** may be used.

#### Creating an OverflowPrimitive

 

 

```C#
public class MyOverflowPrimitiveElement : RadElement
{
    protected override void CreateChildElements()
    {
        OverflowPrimitive overflowPrimitive = new OverflowPrimitive(ArrowDirection.Down);
        overflowPrimitive.MinSize = new Size(30, 30);
        overflowPrimitive.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
        this.Children.Add(overflowPrimitive);
        base.CreateChildElements();
    }
}

```

```VB.NET
Public Class MyOverflowPrimitiveElement
    Inherits RadElement
    Protected Overrides Sub CreateChildElements()
        Dim overflowPrimitive As New OverflowPrimitive(ArrowDirection.Down)
        overflowPrimitive.MinSize = New Size(30, 30)
        overflowPrimitive.ForeColor = Color.Blue
        Me.Children.Add(overflowPrimitive)
        MyBase.CreateChildElements()
    End Sub
End Class

```
