DialogControls-ListBoxes

CT_XCOMBO=44

TokenNames common to most controls, such as x,y,w,h,text,idc... are not listed here.

Notes for future:

For list boxes, the usage of 'ST_' style constants (ST_MULTI & ST_TITLE_BAR) behave differently than expected for other controls, so use the corresponding 'LB_' (LB_TEXTURES & LB_MULTI) list box style variants instead.

style = LB_TEXTURES; // solid scrollbar
style = LB_MULTI; // multiple item selection

RscListNBox

• Using -1 for idcLeft/idcRight will use the full row width. Using a valid idc will reserve sides for arrows and link with those controls.

• idcLeft/idcRight bug?: Using -1 for either idc will link to first control with an idc using -1, instead of treating it as an unused idc. Workaround: number every idc in dialog rather than leaving any idc as -1.
