The WinForms ComboBox (multiselect combobox) control allows users to type a value, choose an item, or choose multiple items using a multiselect option. Any UI control can be loaded as the header of the dropdown. Users can perform customized actions like search and filter in the dropdown. Its rich feature set includes autocomplete, sorting, watermark text, appearance customization, and more.
The WinForms ComboBox has data binding support to work out-of-the-box with all the popular data sources like IEnumerable (IList, IBindingList, ObservableCollection, and more) and DataTable. It also supports sorting and filtering. Data can be shown based on the display member and value member. It also allows users to bind the data source at the designer level.
The WinForms ComboBox allows users to filter data. Users can also filter items with their own custom logic.
A watermark provides an additional hint to users about the data to be selected from the listed values.
Customize the appearance of the edit control and dropdown list.
Customize the appearance of the dropdown list items based on the data.
Users can load an image to each list item in the dropdown. Images can also be aligned with the text.
Supports making a custom drawing for every list item.
Customize the drop-down position to load the pop-up where needed.
Show or hide the clear button, which is used to clear the editor value and selection.
The WinForms ComboBox control provides Office 2016 built-in theme support to adapt the control to the rest of the business application. The following Office 2016 themes are supported:
Users can adjust (auto fit) the item height in the dropdown based on the content of the item to enhance readability. It is also possible to set the item height conditionally.
Localize all the static default strings in the WinForms ComboBox to any desired language.
Supports right-to-left (RTL) direction for users working in right-to-left languages like Hebrew, Arabic, or Persian.
The WinForms ComboBox control is compatible with Coded UI and UFT (formerly QTP) automation tools to automate applications.
We do not sell the WinForms ComboBox control separately. It is only available for purchase as part of the Syncfusion WinForms suite, which contains over 100 WinForms controls, including ComboBox. A single developer license for the Syncfusion Essential Studio for WinForms suite costs $995.00 USD, including one year of support and updates. On top of this, we might be able to offer additional discounts based on currently active promotions. Please contact our sales team to see if you qualify for any additional discounts.

No, our 100+ WinForms controls, including ComboBox, are not sold individually, only as a single package. However, we have competitively priced the product so it only costs a little bit more than what some other vendors charge for their ComboBox alone. We have also found that, in our experience, our customers usually start off using one of our products and then expand to several products quickly, so we felt it was best to offer all 100+ WinForms controls for a flat fee of $995/developer. On top of this, we might be able to offer additional discounts based on currently active promotions. Please contact our sales team today to see if you qualify for any additional discounts.
No, this is a commercial product and requires a paid license. However, a free community license is also available for companies and individuals whose organizations have less than $1 million USD in annual gross revenue and five or fewer developers.
A good place to start would be our comprehensive getting started documentation.
