If I understand the question, you want to create a control where you click a drop down and it shows a dialog In the first instance, this would be a dialog, it's just being controlled differently, it's being shown in response to a click on an arrow, and hidden again when you click outside the control, which I assume means it has mouse capture and then closes itself when you click outside it's bounds.

But it seems that .NET 2.0 gives us no good way to do our job. I think helper classes of .NET 2.0 should not be hide from us, but show us how to use them the best way.
