  • Create an instance of the MultiSelectionComboBox control and add it to the Form.

    MultiSelectionComboBox MultiSelectionComboBox1 = new MultiSelectionComboBox();
 this.MultiSelectionComboBox1.ButtonStyle = ButtonAppearance.Metro;
 this.MultiSelectionComboBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(217, 30);
 this.MultiSelectionComboBox1.UseVisualStyle = true;
