Command Bar - CComboBoxEx

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have placed two CComboBoxEx controls on a control bar using: 

CXTPControlCustom* pControl = CXTPControlCustom::CreateControlCustom(&m_Host);

However the controls do not reflect the theme colors selected.  What am I doing wrong?  Also, how would I get the controls to be flat?

In addition, the three CXTPControlEdit controls to the right of the combo controls appear not to have the internal m_pEdit created.  If I try to do a SetEditText on any of the CXTPControlEdit controls, the program will abort.  Is it ok to have more than one CXTPControlEdit on a control bar?

	I discovered the CComboBoxEx lack of theme support was due to a missing manifest. Seems the codejock wizard does not add this to new projects. The CXTPControlEdit problem is quite strange, however I discovered that the value of pUser returned within the OnCreate section is flaky. pUser = (CXTPControlEdit)pCommandList->Add(xtpControlEdit,IDC_USERNAME); If I reference the CXTPControlEdit control by: ((CXTPControlEdit)pToolBar->GetControls()->FindControl(IDC_USERNAME))->SetEditText(m_strUserName); then all is well. Enough to drive one crazy.
