Palette Keepfocus / AutoHide

[caddie75]

Hi there all,

I had a problem when my (custom) palette was docked with comboboxes (the list disappears when moving the cursor out of the combobox area).
Problem solved.....wel now the palette doesn't autoHide when floating.....

Anyone...
Or should I change the keepfocus state when the palette "gets" floating??

Set keepfocus to true, or you can use the following
derivative instead of the standard .NET ComboBox
control, and that should do it.

public class PaletteCombo : System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
{
protected override void WndProc( ref Message m )
{
if( m.Msg != 0x0167 )
base.WndProc( ref m );
}
}

Tony I had an issue while using a combobox and I got to this solution by debugging. The fix is the same which is to return from WndProc if m.Msg == 0x0167. After the fix was made I found this thread. However the problem is I dont know what CB_ message 0x0167 is. Can you tell?

Thanks,

The message is a WinForms reflected control message, that
tells the combo box to close the dropdown.
