An editable combo list control

Sample Image - editable_list.jpg

Introduction

I had to implement some kind of list representation of a certain product-sell table (Product | Price | ProductID | Amount ). So, I decided to use ListCtrl for that matter. Basically, ListCtrl is fun to play with. One of the styles supported by ListCtrl is called report-view, which is used here. ListCtrl also allow editable entries as one of its styles. Unfortunately, when dealing with report-view, editing is applied only to the first column‘s elements.

My Solution

The solution was to create an Edit window on-demand, on top of the according cell-entry. Then, when done editing, a notification message is sent to parent ListCtrl. Thinking this idea is simple enough, I have also perfected it to create ComboBox on demand for certain cells to narrow the input options ( Such as Product field, which is out of the predefined list of elements ).
