Topic: Using constraints and expand button

I would like to use both a combobox and an 'expand' button. Unfortunately, the CXTPPropertyGridItem doesn't appear to support both flags simultaneously.

So I am trying to write my own CXTPPropertyGridItem-derived class that uses a CComboBox and CButton. I have followed the same pattern as the samples that use custom grid items, and in my OnSelect() I call Create() and MoveWindow() on my combobox (and button) passing in the CRect returned by GetValueRect(). Unfortunately, when the combobox is drawn its height is taller than the height of the grid cell. Might anyone have any ideas/suggestions? Or is there a better way to approach this?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
