How to create combobox with bitmaps in Win32?

I wanted to create a custom combo box like this (as in MS Word),

Are there any Win32 API calls (I can't use MFC) to get this job done, (like ChooseColor() or ChooseFont()? If there aren't any, can anyone please tell me how to do this? Tha开发者_如何学运维nks you.

You have some options to solve your problem:

1. All common controls supports WM_SETFONT, so if you find a Font which has all line elements which you need, you can change font of the combobox control and fill items with corresponding textes.
2. There are ComboBoxEx control which combines images with textes (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb775738(VS.85).aspx). Be careful, what part of items will be selected (just try it). If you can a little change your requirements to the combobox control you will be able to use this.
3. You can use owner-draw combo-box. Then you are absolutely free, but your code can be a liitle longer and you should be more carful if you works with non-standard color shema of windows or a non-default theams. I'll recommend you use functions GetSysColor in this case.

You should deceide youself whay way is the best for your project requirements.

You can derive from WTL::CComboBox. You'd have to implement the message handlers for

• WM_MEASUREITEM / OCM_MEASUREITEM to do the size measurements of your combo box items
• WM_DRAWITEM / OCM_DRAWITEM to do the drawing itself. You don't need bitmaps really, you could simply draw using GDI.

In Win32 this is called a owner-drawn combobox. A good startpoint in the online dicumentation is here:

This is working code of an owner drawn combo-box, instructions within.

// List image Icon Test.cpp : Defines the entry point for the application.
//

// READ ME:
// Create a new c++ desktop application
// Remove all the code from the cpp section and insert all this code.
// Create a dialog in VS editor, which had a list box called IDLIST and a combobox called IDCOMBO
// it will already have ok and cancel buttons these can stay.
// Create 4 bitmaps any size, only 24x24 will be shown and put them in the source project directory,
// eg C:\Users\Pts1\source\repos\List image Icon Test\List image Icon Test
// Rename the bitmaps Black.bmp, Blue.bmp, Red.bmp, Green.bmp and make sure they are of the format bmp not just called bmp.
// or ideally create the bitmaps so that they are 24x24 and all black,blue etc
// add IDB_Bread bitmap to the editor or remove them from the code below as instructed. We can load bitmaps directly from file instead.
// Make sure you change the combobox properties as instructed at the header for the dialog callback procedure.
