Tricky list box item problem.........

Robin Tucker

Is it possible to embed controls within a listbox item? I'm currently
owner-drawing a list box - but I would like to have controls embedded in
each list item. Is this possible, or am I in cloud cookoo land?

Cheers

So far as I know the answer is no, you can't.

However, because you have hit test abilities, and you have owner draw
abilities, you can probably make it work with enough effort and time if its
important enough. What is it you are trying to accomplish?

Well each item in my list view represents an image from a database. These
images have a "status", "title", "Description" - it would be nice, for
example, to be able to click a button and change the status (current status
values can be Red, Yellow or Green), or click a button and play the sound
associated with each image. It isn't so important as I can stick some items
on a toolbar.
