How to put CComboBox and CButton in one?

[MGS76]

Hi,

I need to get a CComboBox and a CButton by one ID. So I want to put them together in one class derived from CWnd.
I did that with two buttons, no problem create the class with Create(_T("BUTTON"),...
But now I need button and combo!

How can I do that?

Thanks

I need to get a CComboBox and a CButton by one ID.

I'm not sure what you mean by the above. Are you trying to place them on a dialog? Can you explain your problem further?

Hi,

I want to create a control as a combination of a CComboBox and a CButton (see attachment).
I need it for a dynamic created view in wich I must know the ID of every control.
Now I took CView as base-class. I can see the controls but no reaction.

create a new class and derive it from CWnd.
your class has two members CComboBox and CButton.
in OnCreate event, create the two members on the position you need to.

int OnCreate( ... ) 
{  
   ....
    // set some styles
    m_ctlCombo.Create( dwStyles, rcComboPos, (CWnd*) this, dwComboID );
    m_ctlButton.Create( _T("...")/*caption*/, dwStyles, rcButtonPos, (CWnd*) this, dwButtonID);
}

hope it helps

That is excactly what I did. The problem ist that I must call create on the class. And there I have to give the classname. If I do with "BUTTON" then the button works, if I do it with "COMBO" the combobox works. If I do it with NULL, none of them work.

No, you may not use "BUTTON" nor "COMBO" for your custom window control. From MSDN :

Its "class name can be any name registered with the global AfxRegisterWndClass function...."

So call AfxRegisterWndClass to register the class name and use its return value as a
class name The CWnd::Create needs.
