| AddItem | (Long) | Adds a new item in the combobox list and returns the index |
| ApplyFontChanges | When setting a new font on the control you need to call this function in order to refresh the interface | |
| BeginUpdate | Permits you to start a long-time update on the control (for example by adding 1000 elements) without sending out many and many events. So it is faster! Use un conjunction with [EndUpdate] |

| DropDown | Opens or Closes the dropdown list | |
| EndUpdate | Terminates a [BeginUpdate] reactivating the control after a long-time update | |
| ExternalInitControl | Some controls contained into this package may have bad iterations when used into Usercontrols.

Controls that may have problems are: ctlUniTextBoxXP, ctlUniRichTextBoxXP, ctlUniListBoxXP, ctlUniListBoxExXP, ctlUniComboBoxXP Check this function for a solution sample |
