Usercontrol that expands like a Combobox

[MarcCama]

Hi all,

I developed a control to imput texts in some languages that inherits the characteristics of the System.Windows.Forms.Panel control.

When the control is not in focus, it is like the first image below. But when the focus is on it, it expands like the second image.

But, when I put my control in a VB form, the control is cut in the bottom of the windows when expanded, like the image below.

What should I do to my control be like a Combobox control, that is expanding on window form, like the image below?

Thanks

have you tried putting in the top layer?

I have a time picker that i found on the web, that the guy uses a form to display results sets back.
If you went to the trouble of getting the panels working you might want to try something like that.

ignore my first post.

Per the second post you would create a form with with hopefully your panel on it, and you would pass parameters to it, to get it setup. (images & text)
then you would need to figure out where to place the form relative to the control.

You would set the form to be borderless.

Search for something called TimePicker on codeproject for some sample code.
