    I am deriving a class from ComboBox. I override OnKeyPress. But OnKeyPress never gets called! Anyone knows whether there is anything special I need to be doing? Nish

    Well It's not an MC++ issue here. The same thing happens when I use C# :-( Nish

      Ensure that IsInputKey/Char returns true for that key; if it returns false you won't get the OnKey* events. James Simplicity Rules!

          I did this :-

          protected override bool IsInputKey(System.Windows.Forms.Keys keyData)
          {
          base.IsInputKey(keyData);
          return true;
          }

          But still OnKeyPress never gets called! Nish

                I overrode WndProc and found that the WM_KEYDOWN message is not being received :-(

                protected override void WndProc(ref System.Windows.Forms.Message m)
                {
                base.WndProc(ref m);
                if(m.Msg == 0x0100)
                Text = "Hello World";
                }

                Nish p.s. In an MC++ program I can #include windows.h to get the defines for various messages, in a C# program how do I get the defines for messages. Above I have hardcoded 0x0100 [WM_KEYDOWN]

                    Find in Files for WM_KEYDOWN ;P There are a couple programs out there which will let you get the constants but I find it much easier to just do a Find in Files. James Simplicity Rules!

                      Incidentally there was a discussion about this in one of my articles Link Don't use WndProc, use PreProcessMessage.

                        How your article works. I see that OnKeyPress is getting called. :) Ofcourse highlighting text by mouse doesnot work in your combo box. :(
