ComboBox into ListView Item

Hello...

Somebody knows as to insert a ComoboBox in a ListView Item, using C Language and Win32 API?

bye

I'm not sure thats possible.

But you could, try to make your own simple class of a listbox, and use comboboxes, as it's children.

Basics....

You will need the WS_EDITLABELS style on the LV.

Process mouse click events or similar messages to decide when the user wants to edit / needs a combo (I use LBUTTONDOWN).

Check a valid item has been clicked (not an empty row).

Get the rectangle that bounds the item to be edited (in client coords) ie where and how big to create the combo in the LV.

Create the combo to have the LV as it's parent ie WS_CHILD and set the ID number as the HMENU param.

Handle msgs in the combo, on loss of focus to the combo (ie closes) you need to find the selected item.

You will need to notify the LV which string was selected. I do this by sending a WN_NOTIFY to the LV's parent dialog.

This is a 'end lable edit' msg LVN_ENDLABELEDIT. I set the LPARAM of the WM_NOTIFY to a LV_DISPINFO struct. This containing the details of the edit (item, subitem, string ect)

Process the WM_NOTIFY message and set the LV's item + subitem with the string using the details in the LV_DISPINFO struct.

Actually, I'm glad I was wrong. :)
