Hi everyone,
I want create a combobox having an icon and a description in the same row. The icon is not in the resource (it must be a rectangle filled by a logical color), so I must create my CImageList run-time (DrawIndirect()?).
I've already read all msdn documentation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/52hkw8ts(VS.80).aspx), but I can't fill my CComboBoxEx (even without icons), while I can fill a CComboBox (using AddString() method).
Could someone explain me how can I create a combobox with images?
Thanks a lot

...

nobody?

i see such an answer. is it what you looking for?

A combobox can use any object, including images.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.combobox.objectcollection.aspx[^]
You can use the Items.Add method to display an image, something like this:
Dim img As New Image()
Dim bimg As New BitmapImage(New Uri("image.jpg", UriKind.Relative) )
img.Source = bimg
Dim item As New ListBoxItem()
item.Content = img
combo.Items.Add(item)
