CXTPControlComboBox with images for list items

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a control combobox on my ribbon. We add a list of strings to the control and now I want to add an image next to each string as I can do with a Windows ComboBoxEx control on a dialog. So far I have not figured out how to do this. I have been able to set the m_nEditIconId of the control combobox itself and whichever string I choose from the dropdown draws in the box with that icon in the DrawEditText method. But associating and icon with each string in the list eludes me. I found CXTPControLComboBox::DrawItem but that is never called when I click the dropdown. I haven't managed to ever break in that routine.

Does anyone know how to do this?
