Hi I am just starting to work with Infragistics after several years, for my project I need to subclass WebDropDown and like the previous person it doesn't appear like CreateChildControls ever gets fired.

Is this the case?  Is there a work around?  Please let me know as my evaluation period is very short.

Thanks.

Hi Sai,
