How to provent text selection in CComboBox ?

mesajflaviu

I have an CComboBoxExt derived from CCOmboBox .. but I have an small problem , perhaps you can help me :

CComboBoxExt	m\_Combo;

void CTestComboView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CFormView::OnInitialUpdate();
GetParentFrame()->RecalcLayout();
ResizeParentToFit();

m\_Combo.AddString("One");
m\_Combo.AddString("Two");
m\_Combo.AddString("Three");

}

and when I type 'O' in combobox , it select me automatically 'One' item from the list ... well , I try this one :

void CComboBoxExt::OnEditupdate()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here

CString sText;
GetWindowText(sText);
DWORD dwCurSel = GetEditSel();
WORD dStart = LOWORD(dwCurSel);
WORD dEnd = HIWORD(dwCurSel);
if(dStart == 0 && dEnd == sText.GetLength())
	SetEditSel(sText.GetLength(),sText.GetLength());

}

but have no effect ....

I forget to say something : I use this , may me this cause weird behaviour ?

void CComboBoxExt::OnEditchange()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here

CString sText;
GetWindowText(sText);
if(sText.IsEmpty())ShowDropDown(FALSE);
else ShowDropDown();

}

Which is? :confused: You've shown code, but have failed to explain what is supposed to happen vs. what is actually happening.
