 
 The idea behind the CheckBoxCombo user control
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 Recently, I was searching for a multi-select combo box in VB
 to use in one of my projects. Though I found some workarounds
 for this, I couldnt find any easy to use such control in VB.

 So I decided to create my own control of such in VB, which is 
 much closer to a standard control and easy to use. One such 
 approach was to create a user control, based on owner-drawn 
 combo box with CBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE style, which is rather
 complex and time-consuming for a full-featured one. But I 
 wanted to do it in a simple way, with existing VB controls,
 which led this control to be born.

 Finally, I thought of sharing it with you, VB Classic
 community, hopefully you will find it useful in your projects
 too.

 Please carefully read the User Documentation and study the 
 Demo Applications for more clear understanding.
 
 The ActiveX project is also provided herewith, if you like
 to have the OCX version of this.

 Note:
 ----- 
 CheckBoxCombo has been carefully designed and tested for its 
 operation and it subclasses the parent form only when it is
 needed, which might prevent unforeseen crashes on the 
 interface, but if you find any error please let me know.
 
 Your comments, suggestions are also welcome.

 Happy coding!!!
