Re: WTL CCombobox with CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style

I kind of fixed my problem by modifying the resource file (*.rc) with a text
editor replacing CBS_DROPDOWN by CBS_DROPDOWNLIST.

Actually after doing this I noticed the member "Type" under
"Properties/Behavior" in resource editor... I would have sworn it was not
there before :-(

Sorry...

I would like to make a drop down list type combobox with the standard WTL
controls.

At the moment all of my controls are initialized with DDX_CONTROL_HANDLE()
so I am not invoking any Create() functions for the controls directly in
OnInitDialog().

I would like to modify the Combobox control from default DROPDOWN style
into DROPDOWNLIST style. I was expecting an option to modify this in the
resource editor but it does not seem possible.

I have my WTL combobox already up and running perfectly. I would just like
to avoid user editing so the user can only select from a predefined list.

Can anyone tell me how I can do this ?
