Well, regarding the "edit item"-behavior in VS, I just realized that all you have to do is to add an extra item with no text :)
 
Still, this deselect "feature" feels wrong.

Hi,
 
I believe CXTEditListBox was originally adapted from the "VC++ directories"-control found in Visual Studio. I have found a strange behavior when clicking in a non-item area. Instead of showing the "add item"-edit control, the selection is lost. This confuses users accustomed to Microsoft products.
 
In XTEditListBox.cpp (627) we find this:
SetCurSel(-1);
pOwner->SendMessage(WM_COMMAND, MAKEWPARAM(GetDlgCtrlID(), LBN_SELCHANGE), (LPARAM)m_hWnd);
 
That makes no sense. When would you want to lose the focus? It has no practical use. I think the behavior found in Visual Studio is desirable.
 
What do you think?
