The Popup class implements the behaviors specific to the drop-down control. This control makes it possible to offer the user a choice of several elements in a drop-down list. This class is not instantiable, derivable or cloneable. The only instances available to the programmer are those automatically generated by HB++ when you place a control on a form.

All the methods necessary for handling the elements displayed by the list are defined by the ChoiceControl parent class. Refer to the documentation of this class for more information and examples of use.

The Font property makes it possible to set at design time the font used to display the items, as well as the control caption. At runtime, it is only possible to modify the font used to display the caption, actually the Text property.
