How to put CComboBox and CButton in one?

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

Michael

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.

Code:

---

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.
