This control easily gives your application the Flat Look that is seen in
the Microsoft office products. To use the control, simply add the files CCJFlatComboBox.cpp
and CCJFlatComboBox.h to your project. You can use Class Wizard to add the
CCJFlatComboBox member variables ( you most likely will have to rebuild the .clw file associated with your
project ), or just replace any instance of CComboBox, with CCJFlatComboBox. Below is and example
of how you might approach this.
Header file:
//{{AFX_DATA(CFlatComboDemoDlg)
enum { IDD = IDD_FLATCOMBODEMO_DIALOG };
CCJFlatComboBox m_DDCombo;
//}}AFX_DATA
Implementation file:
//{{AFX_DATA_MAP(CFlatComboDemoDlg)
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_DROPDOWN_COMBO, m_DDCombo);
//}}AFX_DATA_MAP
