I'm considering purchasing the Xtreme Suite and using commandbars in particular so I was evaluating the demo.
I've set the commandbar to use the NativeXP theme.
I add a ComboBox control to a toolbar and set it up as a DropDownList. It renderes nice enough on XP using the theme, but on Vista it does not look like a themed DropDownList. (It should look more like a commandbutton with an arrow on it). Has anyone figured out a way to fix/get around this?
Is it possible to host a regular combobox control in the toolbar with SetParent?

Hi
I've tried to do it, but failed to figure out how. I looked through the online help, samples and forums but found no clues there either.
Could somebody give me a hint where to look?

Hi,
Add Picturebox to form and combobox to picturebox. Safest way is using picturebox because sometimes control will be detached.
Dim toolBar As CommandBar
Dim custControl As CommandBarControlCustom Set toolBar = CommandBars.Add("Tools", xtpBarTop) Set custControl = toolBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlCustom, 1, "Styles") custControl.Handle = Picture1.hWnd ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 15.0.2 Platform: Windows XP (32bit) - SP 2 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 Zero replies is not an option.... |

Thanks, worked great. 
(apart from the 1 pixel corners of the picturebox seen through the combobox since it's got rounded corners. But I can live with that for now.)
