Xtreme Toolkit Pro v9.60

Can anyone help me with this?

I need to build a custom control for a CXTPPropertyGrid. The control needs to be a combination of a combo box (with contraints) with a ... button to the right of the drop down arrow (that will be used to fire a popup dialog).  I have spent a whole day puzzing over how to build this and I'm no further forward.

I've never built a custom control before, so I'm looking for general advice, places to look, code snippets, headache tablets, drugs, basically anything that will help!

Can anyone help?

Hi All,

Now I'm really pleading for HELP! - PLEASE!

I've looked at various samples, but cannot figure out if I should be inheriting, subclassing or giving up because what I'm asking for just cannot be done.

Please would someone take pity on me and give me some pointers?

Regards,

Kevin.  - so sad I want to cry......

Don't be sad Kevin, at least you're using MFC  ..... I wish we were, but we're stuck using ATL so only have the active-x version.  Which, according to this http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2099&PN=1 - http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2099&P N=1  does not support a combo with a '...' button.    ....  Since the MFC version comes with source I would be _very_ surprised if you weren't able to do something about it.  If you can't get that working what we did as a work-around for the problem was when that field is selected we add a verb that performs the same function as we had initially planned for the '...' button.  It turns out using the verbs was a better way for us to go as it allows for multiple actions....
