I would like to use a combo box with icons and indentation in a dialog.

I have tried to use CXTComboBoxEx according to the example in the CommonControls project, and it just does not work.

Maybe you forgot to add ON_XTP_CREATECONTROL() macros?

For Dialog Sample add:

ON_XTP_CREATECONTROL() to message map,

int CDialogSampleDlg::OnCreateControl(LPCREATECONTROLSTRUCT lpCreateControl)
{
 if (lpCreateControl->nID == ID_BUTTON_PLAY)
 {
  if (!m_wndComboBox.Create(WS_TABSTOP | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE |CBS_DROPDOWN
,
   CRect(0, 0, 100, 100), this, 100))
  {
   return FALSE;
  }
  COMBOBOXEXITEM cbItem;
  ZeroMemory(&cbItem, sizeof(COMBOBOXEXITEM));
  cbItem.mask = CBEIF_TEXT;
  cbItem.pszText = _T("Manager");

  m_wndComboBox.InsertItem(&cbItem);

  cbItem.pszText = _T("Administrator");
  m_wndComboBox.InsertItem(&cbItem);
  
  
  
  CXTPControlCustom* pControl = CXTPControlCustom::CreateControlCustom(&m_wndComboBox);& nbsp; 
  
  pControl->SetBorders(3, 3, 3, 3);
  pControl->SetVerticalPositionOption(xtpVertic alShow);

  lpCreateControl->pControl = pControl;
  return TRUE;
 }
 return FALSE;
}

declaration:

CComboBoxEx m_wndComboBox;
int OnCreateControl(LPCREATECONTROLSTRUCT lpCreateControl);
