Hello ...


It would be great if you can add a CExtComboBoxEx control. Which is derived from the CComboBoxEx control.


Changing the base class (CComboBox) of the CExtComboBox to CComboBoxEx doesn’t work very well.


Note:
When using the CComboBoxEx control there are some CB_ messages the underlying CComboBox control doesn’t support though:
Dir(), FindString(), InsertString(), AddString(), SetEditSel()


Thank you.

Dear Mathias,

The CComboBoxEx class is just an owner-draw version of CComboBox and nothing more. If you need it (including support for the Dir() method etc.), we can code it within a few days by extending the functionality of our CExtComboBox class. We haven’t done this before because we believed user programs usually need their own specific redrawing of combo-box items.

Hello ...


In our application we often use the CComboBoxEx control. It would be great if you can create a CExtComboBoxEx class.


Thanks in advance.
