Last I heard Michael was working on the List property (see posts above). So he has it.
Actually, I did not have any time to make any improvements, I wanted too... but I was kinda busy.... :(
[edit]
Also, I still did not figure out how to do the Multiline List property thing... (the one that a regular drop down has)
I don't think you can make the type of dropdown that a normal list property has that is why I sugessted a property page.
Also, property arrays don't show up in the property window, That is whys I suggested the single string.
Also, another reason why I did not make improvements is that I don't need anymore, because the project where I needed this is on hold. I was assigned to make another project (bigger one). That's why I did not have time lately. But now the bigger project is on hold also :D, though I was not told to resume the old one... but I think I'll do it anyways, I'm gonna try today to actually use the control in the project where I needed it (until now it was just tests).
I know, I think I'll give up on the List property thing, it's not really needed, but it would be nicer if it was there...Quote:

I think it's fine... though I still did not have time to test it in the actual application. I put it on the form, I'm just left to write the code for it :)
I will do it for sure in the next few days. I have nothing else left to make in my application. (Well, previous statement is not really true, there's always something to do/add to an app. But you get the idea, right...)
Well, here it is. I have made some small corrections to the picDrop resizing according to font (control) size. I will let Si_the_geek know so he can lock it down as a final version in the Utility Bank.
If anyone (at any time) has any new ideas, feel free to bring back the discussion :)
And to all that have worked on the project, it was great working with you guys!
Hello,
Is it possible to have multiple instances of this control on a form? I've been trying to use a control array (using; load ctrlUserControl(1)) and this is causing an error and crashing VB.
Thanks
Laurence
Sorry to post on such an old (but very useful) post but there is one thing I've not been able to sort out with this control to emulate the drop down behavior.
Specifically, the inability to use key up and key down to select items in the drop down. You can check this on the test app but trying the standard drop down (once dropped, the up and down arrows will select an item), but the custom control doesn't handle this. The setting of focus to the disconnected control (as in the code) doesn't have any effect, nor does attempting an ActivateWindow on the hWnd.
