Re: Combobox resize

Hi Mike,
thanks alot!
cannot believe I missed this option with imagelist :)

1x21 image list is exactly I need. both dropdown and dropdownlist controls 
look pretty good under Xp/Vista/W7.
I even don't need to add an image. empty imagelist works well.

CImageList img;
if (img.Create(1, 21, ILC_COLOR32|ILC_MASK, 1, 1))
    m_grid.SetImageList(img, LVSIL_SMALL);

int n = m_grid.InsertItem (0, str, -1);
m_grid.AddItem(n, 1, str); //
m_grid.AddItem(n, 2, str);
m_grid.AddItem(n, 3, str);

  You might check out www.viksoe.dk. Check out his combobox controls and his 
property grid. There are other examples on the Internet (maybe 
www.ucancode.com and www.codeproject.com) that show in-place use of 
comboboxes inside listviews. Typically these are "property controls" or 
"property grids".

  To resize the rows in a ListView, what I've always done is use an 
imagelist and change the size of the images. The control will change it's 
row size to fit the image size.

  The windows combobox sucks pretty bad... So bad that even though I am lazy 
by nature, I was motivated enough to write my own ground-up listbox and 
combobox controls because I got so tired of fighting the limitations of the 
built-in controls.

  Best of luck with this.

  ~Mike
