Remarks

Each combination described by IVsDropDownBarClient can contain plain text or fancy text, that is bold, underlined, or italic, can have window text font coloring or grayed out font coloring, and optionally show a small bitmap next to the item. Image drawing is negotiated using image lists, just as with the IVsCompletionSet interface. Each drop-down combination can have a different image list, with the caveat that the image lists should have images of the same height. You can have an arbitrary number of combinations, and the drop-down code makes no assumptions about their semantics.

Notes to Implementers

Implement the IVsDropdownBarClient interface to describe the contents of the drop-down bar combinations.
