Options to display 20 - 200 items for user selection in a winform app?

I have need of a checked combobox control like this one --> DevExpress (I am using this now and would like to move away from DevExpress for many many reasons)

I am willing to attempt my own control though I would like*(read need)* some direction.

I am willing to use Krypton's Free Tools and extend them (if possible) though; I cannot, at this time, pay for the source code.

I am willing to listen to alternative methods of displaying data to my users.

My situation is this: I have multiple place's where I need to display 20 - 100+ possible items to select. In the WebApp version there was just a popup with all the check boxes listed and you scrolled away. I would really like to AVOID scrolling of the main screen in my desktop-ported version!

Any and all suggestions welcome!

In fact, you can use the DevExpress checked combobox control, which is a part of the XtraEditor library, free of charge :)

Over 40 Individual Controls – Free of Charge

It looks like the following components are available for free:

  • The XtraEditors Library
  • The XtraNavBar Suite
  • ASPxMenu
  • ASPxSiteMapControl

According to the link: ... you will be able to download, install, and use these controls free of charge. The applications you create with these controls can be distributed royalty free (see the EULA that accompanies the products for more information)...

See more details on the offer in the link above.

I do not work for DevExpress and I have no idea when this offer will end, though :).

The DevExpress control looks like a popup form placed right under an ordinary combo box. That would be simple enough to do.
