Overlay and Animation

RadComboBox overlays flash files, too.

  • Demo Configurator
Expand Animation
  • Spin UpSpin Down
Collapse Animation
  • Spin UpSpin Down

RadComboBox fully supports overlay. Its drop-down can hover over windowed objects (ASP.NET dropdownlists and/or flash movies). In addition, RadComboBox is not rendered as a windowed object, so DHTML content can hover the RadComboBox when needed. This functionality is enabled by default. No property should be set to enable the feature.

Please use the configuration panel to explore the different types of animations. To observe the overlay result over the DropDownList and the flash object, please open the RadComboBox.
