This property is used to determine whether the Edit control or grid cell displays a down arrow or ellipses on the right hand side of the control when acting as a drop down list. For this property to have any effect the DropDown property should also be set to anything other than NoDrop. This property is a design time only property and can therefore not be changed under program control.
