Parameters

Parameter Description
x The horizontal position in which to position the upper left corner of the control.
y The vertical position in which to position the upper left corner of the control.
width The width of the control in pixels.
text If this value is specified, a combo box with edit box is created in order to type the value directly or select a value from the list. If this value is omitted, a combo box without edit box is created and the value can only be selected from the drop-down list.

Return Value

The last newly created DlxDialogControl object. Call the IsValid() method to determine if the object was created correctly.
