Class GridListControl

Implements a System.Windows.Forms.ListControl that shows data in the GridControl child window. Supports multiple columns, data binding, and selection of items similar to a list box.

Inheritance

System.Object

GridListControl

GridDropDownGridListControlPart

GridListBox

Implements

IThemedControl

System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize

IThemeProvider

IVisualStyle

Namespace: Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid

Assembly: Syncfusion.Grid.Windows.dll

Syntax

public class GridListControl : ListControl, IThemedControl, ISupportInitialize, IThemeProvider, IVisualStyle

Remarks

Because GridListControl is derived from System.Windows.Forms.ListControl, you can easily replace an existing list box (which is also derived from ListControl) with this GridListControl.

You can access the underlying grid control with the Grid property. The list control supports several selection modes similar to a list box.
