ComboBoxEx control extended styles

ComboBoxEx controls support most standard combo box control styles. Additionally, ComboBoxEx controls support the following extended styles, which you can set and retrieve by using CBEM_SETEXTENDEDSTYLE and CBEM_GETEXTENDEDSTYLE messages:

CBES_EX_CASESENSITIVE String searches in the list will be case sensitive. This includes searches as a result of text being typed in the edit box and the CB_FINDSTRINGEXACT message.
CBES_EX_NOEDITIMAGE The edit box will not display an item image.
CBES_EX_NOEDITIMAGEINDENT The edit box will not indent text to make room for an item image.
CBES_EX_NOSIZELIMIT Allows the ComboBoxEx control to be vertically sized smaller than its contained combo box control. If the ComboBoxEx is sized smaller than the combo box, the combo box will be clipped.
CBES_EX_PATHWORDBREAKPROC Windows NT only. The edit box will use the slash (/), backslash (\), and period (.) characters as word delimiters. This makes keyboard shortcuts for word-by-word cursor movement (CTRL+ARROW) effective in path names and URLs.
