How to make an ImageCombobox?

To have an Image ComboBox, descriptions of the images are added into an arraylist and the images in the imagelist are bound with the Dropdown, that is the GridListControl. The GridListControl’s look and feel are created in such a manner that it looks like a list box containing the images. The following code examples explain how to create it.
