I'd imagine it'd be much simpler (at least I'm sure it's
possible...) to implement the combobox as a control.
The rest is just drawing and hit-testing code... You'll
probably want to base this on the standard combobox
control and subclass its listbox (for hit-testing) plus
perform custom drawing.

I want to write an ActiveX control (using C++/ATL, of course) that can
reside inside a combo box. When an entry in the combo box is double mouse
clicked, it will redraw it self using three check boxes and three edit
boxes so users may alter public attributes.
Is there an example of this anywhere?

Hmmm... I'm not sure what would be most effective here: a combo box or
listbox or ListCtrl. I was originally thinking ListCtrl but I want each
row (as opposed to each cell) be an instance of an ActiveX control that
could be edited by its user interface.

Any thoughts on how this would be implemented?

Incidently: each instance of this ActiveX control contains a start time
(hours, minutes, seconds, frames), a stop time and couple of booleans
implemented with checkboxes and a comment string implemented with an Edit
Box. I'm working on a special purpose DirectShow client to play fragments
from a DVD movie.
