Comments

The Style property defines the preferred location of the drop down portion.

If the drop down portion doesn't fit in the position defined using this property, the combo box displays the drop down portion on the opposite side. If the drop down portion would be displayed clipped, because it extends beyond the edge of the screen, it is displayed in the location that can accommodate more or the entire drop down portion. The Style property always returns the defined location, which is not necessarily the same as the actual location.

DropDown.GetPosition can be used to retrieve the coordinates of the drop down portion.

The Style property must be set before the drop down portion becomes visible.

This property has no effect on a simple combo box.
