Examples

The code below shows the implementation of a simple combo box.
CopyC#
public class Combo1 : ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.ComboBox
{
  public Combo1()
  {
    //Add two items to the combo box.
    Point o1 = new Point();
    o1.PutCoords(0, 0);
    int c1 = this.Add("Item1", o1);

    Point o2 = new Point();
    o2.PutCoords(1, 1);
    int c2 = this.Add("Item2", o2);

    //Add the application's caption.
    ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework.IApplication app = this.Hook as ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework.IApplication;
    this.Add(app.Caption);

    //Add one item then remove
    int c3 = this.Add("Item3");
    this.Remove(c3);

    //Select the second item.
    this.Select(c2);
  }

  protected override void OnSelChange(int cookie)
  {
    if (cookie == -1)
      return;

    //Get the associated object.
    Point tag = this.GetItem(cookie).Tag as Point;
    if (tag != null)
    {
      System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(tag.X + ", " + tag.Y);
    }
  }

  protected override void OnEnter()
  {
    //Loop through the item collection.
    foreach (ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.ComboBox.Item item in this.items)
    {
      if (this.Value == item.Caption)
        return;
    }
    this.Add(this.Value);
  }

  protected override void OnEditChange(string editString)
  {
    if (string.Compare(editString, "ABC", true) == 0)
    {
      System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("editString is " + this.Value);
    }
  }

  protected override void OnFocus(bool set)
  {
    if (set)
      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Get focus.");

    if (!set)
      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Lose focus.");
  }

  protected override void OnUpdate()
  {
    this.Enabled = ArcMap.Application != null;
  }
}
