|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accept custom values | Yes | Yes | - | Yes | Yes |
| Custom buttons | Yes | Yes | - | Yes | Yes |
| Keyboard navigation | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Requires custom configuration |

DropDownBox allows you to put any content in its drop-down field. This feature makes it more versatile but it is also more complex to implement. For instance, you can embed another DevExtreme component and use it to display data. Refer to the DropDownBox help topics and demos for further information.
