Probably the combobox is not designed and is not suitable for multiple selections. Consider an alternative: CCheckListBox.

here's a sample.

2021-12-17T11:51:17.057+00:00 Thanks for the reply. In MFC Toolbox, I could find checked list box control. And I need to support grouping of items along with multiselect, how to achieve it?

You could try to create CCheckListBox by CListBox:
- Drag List Box to the Dialog and modify Has Strings and Owner Draw in properties:
- Add
CCheckListBox m_CheckListBox;in dialog's .h file. - Add snippet below in dialog's OnInitDialog() function m_CheckListBox.SubclassDlgItem(IDC_LIST1, this);
m_CheckListBox.SetCheckStyle(BS_AUTOCHECKBOX);
m_CheckListBox.AddString(L"Test String");
m_CheckListBox.AddString(L"Test String");
Best regards,
Minxin Yu
