UPDATE: 5-11-21
Just posted a bug fix correcting undesirable behavior related to editor behavior during mouse wheel event.
Hello friends and colleagues,
I recently revisited the Property Grid project and added a checked combobox editor. This necessitated a major overhaul of the combobox related code. I then strove to improve tabbing and keyboard related functionality in the combobox controls. I made the editable combobox a self searcher. Added a bug fix and cleaned up a lot of unnecessary comments.
Some of these improvements were long overdue.

I read the post at CodeProject it is very impressive.
Great work.
I did not know how that kind of controls were made.
With all the details you give it is like I returned to school.
When you began in 2010 it was a 32 bits controls,
I imagine that the update in 64 bits also needed a lot of work.
There are many kinds of fields (IP, Dates & Time...) but nothing for the images.
If I have save all the article in a pdf that can be useful.
Thanks.

Looks like a big job. All marked C++ too. Read through the web page as I don't have my own Code Project login - interesting. BTW - notice that at the end the "History" shows last update as April 30 2010?
I like your "Win32 SDK Data Grid View Made Easy" and was considering using that in place of a ListView Table in a project. Went with ListView for now but still might switch as ListView gets really sluggish with a big table.

Hi John, April 30 2010 was when I posted the initial source code, this update ver 2.2 I posted last night and that is reflected at the bottom of the history list. As I recall the project started small but rapidly grew with new features. I hadn't touched this code in several years when I found time to add the checked combobox feature a couple of weeks ago. Took me a while to get my head around it again!
For big tables might I suggest Simple Grid (https://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?topic=5833.0)I did not know how that kind of controls were made.

You know Grincheux, I never formally studied any of this stuff. My first exposure to writing controls was reading over David Hillard's Baby Grid source code. I studied a lot of examples while putting this together. Never satisfied, always improving, standing on the shoulders of giants. ;)
As far as 64 bit goes I remember getting some hints from Timo. There's a lot of wisdom on this forum.

Hi David,
Great job on 2.2.
Your code and explanations are always first rate - useful and scholarly.
Many thanks!

Really nice job David. ;)

Sorry about that misread! Brain stuck on how I do it.
Thanks for the tips and code.

Fine work! The source code is a joy to read, thanks!
