Combo Box Builder

The Combo Box Builder makes it easy to set properties for a Combo Box control. You set properties by choosing options from the Combo Box Builder dialog box.

To use the Combo Box Builder

  1. Using the Form Controls toolbar, place multiple combo box controls on the form.

  2. Select and right-click all the combo box controls you want to format, and then choose Builder from the Form Designer shortcut menu.

    When you choose OK, the builder closes, applying the property settings to the control.
