Re: SetProperty: How Do I Use It?

How do I use SetProperty? I have looking in MSDN's help, and it showed an
example using a TextBox control, but what about other controls?
Specifically, I want to change the properties of a CComboBox: Visibility,
Drop Down Style, etc.
Where could I find information on how to set these values at run time? Is
SetProperty(DISPID, VARTYPE, ...) the right control to use?
I posted this question in the "Pocket PC" newsgroup, but I was not able to
get an answer thanks to someone called ctack
SetProperty appears to be related to COM/ActiveX controls only, but you
did not say what class it is a member of. It is not relevant for simple
built-in controls such as CEdit and CComboBox.
The built-in controls do not use the "property" paradigm. For them try
ShowWindow and ModifyStyle and other inherited CWnd functions such as
MoveWindow and SetWindowPos. For many styles ModifyStyle does not work
and you must delete the control and create a new one.
