**CreateControl, VIRTUAL, PROTECTED**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **CreateControl **method creates the edit-in-place DROPLIST control and sets the FEQ property.

**Implementation:**

The Init method calls the CreateControl method. The CreateControl method sets the value of the FEQ property. Use the Init method or the CreateControl method to set any required properties of the DROPLIST control.

**Example:**

**EditClass.Init PROCEDURE(UNSIGNED FieldNo,UNSIGNED ListBox,*? UseVar)**

** CODE**

** SELF.ListBoxFeq = ListBox**

** SELF.CreateControl()**

** ASSERT(SELF.Feq)**

** SELF.UseVar &= UseVar**

** SELF.Feq{PROP:Text} = ListBox{PROPLIST:Picture,FieldNo}**

** SELF.Feq{PROP:Use} = UseVar**

** SELF.SetAlerts**
