Since it is provided by comctl32.dll(and available in Win32), why would
you want to have this is as an ActiveX control?

There are many ActiveX control toturials that implement an OnDraw()
method (or something like this) to draw something like a circle or
smile face. What i need is a ActiveX control which behavior like
windows common controls like listbox or combobox. Can i enbed a
windows common control in the COM object or implement a COM object that
draw the control myself?

Why not? Your ActiveX control can have any of the Win32 common controls
in it.

Hi Ajay,
I want to enbed a combo box control in the ActiveX control. I create a ATL
project and use ATL control wizard to create an ActiveX control. I select
combo box (what's difference with combboxEx32) and others use default
settings. I compling and test it using Tools->Activex control test
container. The active control isn't like a combo box. What else should i do
to make it work as combo box? Any samples and toturials are welcome.

Its been a while since I wrote an ActiveX control. A different forum
(ATL) will be of more help. I am certain though that you can develop an
ActiveX control that contains builtin Win32 controls.

Why are you using ActiveX? Who is the target? VB?

Hi Ajay,
I got an ActiveX control and i need implementing an ActiveX combo box
control to work with it.
I found some samples that enbed an win32 controls in the ActiveX control
then write code to draw the controls. This is essential?
I try to enbed Win32 controls and call create method to create controls, but
it doesn't work. What really should i do?

Sorry, I dont think I can be of further help. I would try other related
newsgroups in addition to Codeproject/Codeguru.
