Comments

The InsertAfter method inserts a new item following the specified index position.

New items added using the InsertAfter method are added after the position described by AfterIndex. By default, new items are added at level 0. Use the Item.Level property to change an item's level.

Items can be inserter before a specific item using the Items.Insert method.

If many items have to be added, the BulkUpdate property can be used to indicate a mass-update, which is significantly faster.

Once an item has been added, the Cell.Text property can be used to change the text for any of the available cells.

Items can be added at the end using the Items.Add method. Items can be deleted using the Items.Remove or Items.Clear methods.

When a control is populated using Items.Add or Items.Insert, the Items.RecalcHorizontalExtent method can be used to have the control calculate the optimal horizontal scrolling area so scroll bars are enabled, depending on the Scrollbars property.

The drop down portion is automatically hidden when the combo box contents are changed using this method. The DropDown.SuppressOn method can be used to suppress hiding the drop down portion when adding/inserting items.
