Using the PropertyGrid sample program as an example, I would like to create something similar to the CCustomItemFileBox class in CustomItems.h.

However, I would like to prevent the user from editing the edit field, but still allow them to press the [...] file dialog button.

If I set the flags to disallow editing, the little file dialog button disappears. Also, if I override the OnChar() method, it does not prevent entries in the edit box.

How can I acheive the desired behavior?

Set

m_nFlags = xtpGridItemHasExpandButton; in its constructor

Thanks! That worked perfectly. Don't know how I missed that.
