- Readme for owncombo.exe
-
- The owncombo.exe example application illustrates the use of functions
- and messages for combo boxes and owner draw. The user interface of
- this example application is fairly self-explanatory except, perhaps,
- for the text combo box dialog. This readme provides an explanation
- of this portion of the application's user interface, to help you better
- interpret the source code.
-
- The text combo box dialog buttons send various messages to the combo box
- and the edit control. These buttons allow the user to vary the data sent
- with each message.
-
- The following actions are performed by the buttons:
-
- Unsl All: This button unselects any selection in the combo box.
-
- Sel No: This button takes an integer value from the edit control and
- attempts to select an entry in the combo box given this index
- value.
-
- Sel Txt: This button takes a text string from the edit control and
- attempts to select the item with the given text prefix.
-
- Find Txt: This button searches for the text given in the edit control
- and returns the item number where it was found in the combo
- box.
-
- Cb Dir: This appends a directory listing of the current directory
- into the combo box.
-
- Clr It: This clears all the items in the combo box.
-
- Add It: This takes the string given in the edit control and adds it
- to the combo box.
-
- Del It: This deletes the currently selected item from the combo box.
-
- Cpy It: This copies the currently selected item in the combo box to
- the edit control.
-
-
- Combo Notifications Check Box:
-
- When this box is checked, a message box will appear showing
- what notification codes the combo box is returning to the app in
- response to the messages sent by the buttons.
