Has anyone successfully used CComboBoxEx? I've tried to use it with three
images per item (unselected, selected, and overlay). It seems to be buggy.
There's no documentation as to when the overlay image is used. And, when I
try to use it without a text string, I get a vertical bar ("|") in place of
the text. Can someone shed some light on this?
 
Tom:

Yes, I had seen that. I'm not having a problem setting the images. It's a
problem with which ones are used at the appropriate time. It seems to be
buggy.
 
Could be. Do you have the latest install of Internet Explorer. I think
that installs the common controls DLL.

No. I can't use that variant.

Thanks for spending some time with this. I think I'm going to have to
re-think using CComboBoxEx. I've found some other posts on other boards from
people complaining of the same things. Either the documentation is
incorrect, or, the control is just too buggy. I'm voting for the last one.
 
I have used this control successfully to do simple things (like the drop
down in Windows Explorer), but I've never tried to use it to the extent you
are so perhaps you are right. I didn't see anything that listed it as a
bug, but as you say I have seen others complain about it.
