I have been struggling with this for past few days -

Is there a support for Image list in CExtComboBox? I have a toolbar where I insert a CExtComboBox which list all the fonts of system. I also show a small bitmap next to the names of fonts to say if they are True Type or not. This works fine when I use CComboBox, but with CExtComboBox, all I see is some junk characters and the bitmap also doesnt show up!

What more do I need to do?

Thanks,
Sachin

I have uploaded a sample application which has the problem.

You can notice that I have overwridden DrawItem method as well.

Just by changing CExtComboBox to CComboBox I dont see the issue

Please help.

Thanks,

Please replace the following line in the CMyCombo::DrawItem() method:

SA_FONTITEM_PPG* pFI = (SA_FONTITEM_PPG*)lpDIS->itemData;

with this

SA_FONTITEM_PPG* pFI = (SA_FONTITEM_PPG*)GetItemData( lpDIS->itemID );

Since we added support for the auto filter popup list box with multiple columns, we have used the item data to store information about the items. So now you cannot directly use the item data. You should call the GetItemData() method or send the CB_GETITEMDATA message instead.
