I want to show my custom control(eg:

monthcalendar

) as a drop-down (popup) window. One option is to use

ToolStripDropDown

and

ToolStripControlHost

as the second example in msdn sample.

Is it recommended to use ToolStripDropDown for controls other than the ToolStrip items ?

I believe, there is nothing like "Recomendation", if it is useful and suits best to your requirement then there should not be any concern. But a analysis before implementing would help finding future issues. That's purely depends on your requirement. I am not sure what others would suggest though :)

@Suvendu Shekhar, Thanks.
Basically, ToolStripDropDown suits my requirement and works fine. But my doubt is, is it a good or suggested way to show custom control as a drop down window?
