To use an Image ComboBox Edit in C# with DevExpress, you need to work with the ImageComboBoxEdit control.

This control allows you to display items with text and associated images, making it useful for visually distinguishing items in a dropdown list.

How to use ImageComboBoxEdit in C#?

Open Visual Studio, then click New Project, then select Visual C# on the left, then Windows and then select Windows Forms Application. Name your project "ImageComboBoxEditExample" and then click OK

Drag and drop the ImageComboBoxEdit control from the DevExpress Toolbox onto your form in Visual Studio.

c# imagecomboboxedit

Before populating the ImageComboBoxEdit, you need an ImageCollection that contains the images to display.

Add an ImageCollection component from the DevExpress Toolbox to your form, then open the Properties window of the ImageCollection and add images using the collection editor.

You can handle the SelectedIndexChanged event to respond to user selections.

private void imageComboBoxEdit_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraMessageBox.Show(imageComboBoxEdit.EditValue.ToString(), "Message", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}

When you run the application, the ImageComboBoxEdit will display the text with the associated images in the dropdown.
