Hi,

I am creating a combo box via C++ code in order to abtain the third combobox
on the right shown in the picture below:

http://i.msdn.microsoft.com/Bb775791...s,VS.85%29.png

The following is the code:

HWND hvComboBox = CreateWindowEx(0,WC_COMBOBOX,NULL,
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | CBS_HASSTRINGS | WS_VSCROLL |
0x00002000,
60, 62, 250, 100,
hwnd,(HMENU)IDC_COMBO1,hInst,NULL);

where I guess the 0x00002000 should give the combobox that special style
(the control was originally created with ResEdit)

Unfortunately, I am still getting a normal style like the combo in the
middle shown in the picture...what am I doing wrong?

thanks

The link isn't working.

It's possible those comboboxes are superclassed (or sub-classed), and
use the extra bit to use an ownerdraw style.
Did you get that info using Spy++ or something like that?

0x2000 is CBS_UPPERCASE.
Is your app themed? Are you trying on Windows Vista or 7?
