Hi;

My existing application has an Owner draw ComboBoxEx , which is derived from CComboBox.

Now i switched my Application to Ribbon , Please tell me how can i used that older ComboBoxEx class with minimum alteration.So that my Ribbon supports that combo , and handles the Selchnage event.

*My combobox is created at runtime , and may be have more than one instance.

Thnx

Hi,

See Samples\CommandBars\CommonControls sample - it shows how to add any Window control to Toolbar.

but think better replace it to xtpControlComboBox/CXTPControlComboBox to match style. (see RibbonSample)

i did this :
CComboBoxEx *pControlClass;
          pControlClass = new CComboBoxEx();
          pControlClass->Create(rect,this);
          CXTPControlCustom* pCustomControl = (CXTPControlCustom*)CXTPControlCustom::CreateObject();
          pCustomControl->SetControl(pControlClass);
          pGroup->Add(pCustomControl, nID);
