DdList.exe Implements Owner-Draw Combo Boxes

• Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

SUMMARY

This article discusses the implementation of an owner-drawn combo box and list box that use the drive and folder icons from the Microsoft Windows version 3.1 Software Development Kit (SDK).

DDLIST utilizes the unused bitmaps that are included in the Microsoft Windows version 3.1 Software Development Kit (SDK) SAMPLES\COMMDLG directory for the File Open and File Save dialog boxes. DDLIST implements the drives combo box and the directory list box as an interrelated pair in a dialog box, fully utilizing the drive type and folder icons available with the Windows SDK. All the bitmaps are loaded separately and maintained in two global HBITMAP arrays. The code to draw the combo box and list box items references these arrays.
