**CreateControl, VIRTUAL, PROTECTED**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

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

| **Implementation:** | The Init method calls the CreateControl method. The CreateControl method creates a COMBO control with an ellipsis button and sets the value of the FEQ property. |
|  | Use the Init method or the CreateControl method to set any required properties of the COMBO 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**
