Introduction

This is simple extension to the basic MFC combo box.

Usage

1. Create a combo box in your dialog, make it "owner draw fixed" and "has strings".
2. Then just add a member to the dialog for that combo, of type CComboBoxBold.
3. Then use the functions of the CComboBoxBold as follows:

   CComboBoxBold::SetIcon(int itemId,int iconId);
   CComboBoxBols::SetItemBold(int itemId, BOOL bold);

Example:

BOOL CBoldComboDemoDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
    CDialog::OnInitDialog();
    // Set the icon for this dialog. The framework does this automatically
    // when the application's main window is not a dialog
    SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE); // Set big icon
    SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE); // Set small icon
    // TODO: Add extra initialization here
    m_combo.SetItemBold(2,TRUE);
    m_combo.SetItemBold(4,TRUE);
    m_combo.SetIcon(0,IDI_ICON2);
    m_combo.SetIcon(1,IDI_ICON3);
    m_combo.SetIcon(2,IDI_ICON4);
    m_combo.SetIcon(3,IDI_ICON6);
    m_combo.SetIcon(5,IDI_ICON2);
    m_combo.SetIcon(6,IDI_ICON4);
    return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
}
