This example shows: 1. how to catch the combo button "click" event; 2. how to show menu after click the button

#include <GetNbox.h>
#include <control.h>

int _event_func_ex(TreeNode& tr, int nRow, int nEvent, DWORD& dwEnables, LPCSTR lpcszNodeName, WndContainer& getNContainer, string& strAux, string& strErrMsg)
{
    //on click the ">" button
    if(ONODETYPE_BROWSECOMBO == nEvent && lstrcmpi(lpcszNodeName,"test") == 0)
    { 
	//show a menu
    	Menu myMenu;
    	myMenu.Add("Item1", 1, MF_STRING);
    	myMenu.Add("Item2", 2, MF_STRING);
    	
    	int nSelCmd;
	POINT pt;
	GetCursorPos(&pt);
	myMenu.TrackPopupMenu(0, pt.x, pt.y, getNContainer.GetSafeHwnd(), &nSelCmd);
	if(nSelCmd > 0)
	{
		string strName;
		myMenu.GetMenuString(nSelCmd, strName, MF_STRING);
		tr.test.strVal = strName;
	}
    }
    
    return true;
}

void GETN_COMBO_BUTTON_ex2()
{
    //combo with ">" button 
    GETN_BOX(tr)
    GETN_COMBO_BUTTON(test, ">", "List", "User", "AAA|BBB", "")
    if ( GetNBox(tr, _event_func_ex) )
        out_tree(tr);
    else
        printf("User Cancel\n");
