A request for some non-standard things...

I have need for two of the more "common" things that Microsoft uses
but did not present in a common control: wells and menu buttons.
Microsoft uses the well for color selection (they have what kinda looks
like a droplist combobox, but when you drop it, it displays a well (with
colors in it). Ideally I would like the well to be able to support
things other than colors (arbitrary size items, perhaps not all the
same size).
Lots of people use menu buttons ... typically the end of the button has
a filled ">" or "V" on it, and when you click on it it drops down/over
a popup menu.
Before I dive into writing these, has anybody written MFC classes (or
even raw C code) for either of these? Would anyone be interested in
MFC classes for them? Does anyone who knows (and can say) know whether
Microsoft will provide them in the near-term future in MFC?
Thanks...
Brad

I am not sure what you mean about the WELL control. But I did use drop
down combo box for things with different sizes. I used the combo box with
CBS_OWNERDRAW style, then gave each item its own height on MEASUREITEM
message.

I implemented similar popup menu with little effect. I loaded a new menu
from the resource and poped it up at the current mouse position when
responding to the button click message.

I have no idea.

In Win95, right click on the desktop and choose Properties. Now go to the
Appearance page. There are two wells labeled "Color:" (they look somewhat
like droplist combo boxes, with a color in them, until you drop them down;
then they reveal the color well).

I don't think I want a combobox here. I think it should be a custom control
(I want well selections, with the possibility of adding other controls as
well, like the pushbutton labeled "Other..." in the desktop color well).
Thanks ...
