How to Alter the Icon of a COMBO drop control

code Snippets
2

Hey @MarkGoldberg, thanks for the demo!

I had a quick play around because I wanted to see what it looked like. For anyone else wanting to compile the example go and grab the dependencies from Marks github repo - ClarionCommunity
Specifically you want these:

  • debuger.inc
  • debuger.clw
  • TUFO.INT
  • FileAccessModes.EQU

…however your life might be easier if you just grab the whole repo and setup your RED to point to the appropriate paths!

I did notice one thing Mark, and I am curious to hear if you have any ideas about how to work around it or if it is an RTL issue. If you include a manifest then the ComboButton appears to no longer be OS themed after the icon change:

Notice how the ellipse icon button is no longer “flat”?

In my EXP I had:

MANIFEST VISTA WINDOWS7 combobutton.exe.manifest

And combobutton.exe.manifest was:
