TCheckList defined by resource (myApp.rc)

[Sebastian Ledesma]

Hi:

Wich it's the correct way to define a TCheckList item defined in a resource file?
I've created with code like this:
pCheckList = new TCheckList(this, IDC_DAY, 158, 72, 175, 120, Items, NumItems);

I'm trying to define using a resource file:
` CONTROL "", IDC_DAY, "listbox", LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE | /LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED | /LBS_DISABLENOSCROLL | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP, 90, 36, 100, 60

and in my dialog:
TDialog::TDialog(...) {
...
pCheckList = new TCheckList(this, IDC_DAY, Items, NumItems);
...
}
`

Thanks in advance

Hi Sebastian, defining a TCheckList as a resource using the "listbox" control class should work, provided you include an owner-draw flag, as it seems you've correctly done.

What problem do you see, if any?

PS. I've cleaned up the TCheckList example, defining the list as a resource. See [r7079].

You are right. I don't know why initially I wasnt able to fill the TChecklist by using a .rc control, while the control programatically created worked fine.
I prefer to use the classic mode (resource) to know wich controls are in a dialog when editing the .RC
