The TcxComboBoxProperties object is a helper object that contains properties specific to the TcxComboBox user forms component. To obtain the TcxComboBoxProperties object in your scripts, use the TcxComboBox.Properties property.

The Items property holds a list of items displayed in the component’s dropdown list. To automatically sort the list of items, set the Sorted property to True.

The DropDownWidth, DropDownRows, DropDownSizeable and DropDownAutoWidth properties control the appearance of the dropdown list.

To limit the length of text that can be inputted into the edit field, use the MaxLength property. The MaskKind and EditMask properties let you specify a mask for values accepted by the component.
