Hi,
I am wondering whether it is easily achievable to create a custom combo
box control which contains certain items preloaded.
Basically I have a form which will contains several combos, each of
which will contain the same items. Rather then iterating through each
combo as part of the form load I wanted the control to automatically
contain the items.
I tried creating a custom control and adding the code below to either
the constructor or the OnCreateEvent but this resulted in the combo
containing two instances of 'item1' and two of 'item2', because they
were added at design time and run-time.
this.Items.Add( "Item1");
this.Items.Add( "Item2");
Any assistance would be appreciated.

You can check DesignMode and then create them or not based on when you decide
to create them

Lee,
Why not use the standard ComboBox control and use the control's Items
property in the form designer?
Am I missing something here?

Sorry,
You are right, I'm being an arse.

long, repetitive, once, for each graphic hardcoded stuff like this:
var bb_off = new Image();
bb_off.src = "images/bb_off.jpg";
....that I could have an array where I just listed the names of the
graphics, a loop, and code in the loop that cycles through each
entry in the array to create and pre-load the "on"...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
