Remarks

The CVSListBox class provides a set of edit buttons that enable the user to create, modify, delete, or rearrange the items in a list control.

The following is a picture of the editable list control. The second list entry, which is titled "Item2", is selected for editing.

CVSListBox control

If you use the resource editor to add an editable list control, notice that the Toolbox pane of the editor does not provide a predefined editable list control. Instead, add a static control such as the Group Box control. The framework uses the static control as a placeholder to specify the size and position of the editable list control.

To use an editable list control in a dialog box template, declare a CVSListBox variable in your dialog box class. To support data exchange between the variable and the control, define a DDX_Control macro entry in the DoDataExchange method of the dialog box. By default, the editable list control is created without edit buttons. Use the inherited CVSListBoxBase::SetStandardButtons method to enable the edit buttons.
