Overlapping controls
-
Hi All, I wanted to know the difference in creation of the list box which drops down from a combo box and the list box control which we can embed on a dialog by drag and drop from the control menu. The list box that drops down from the combobox can overlap on other controls and still the focus is on the list box when the mouse is moved over the overlapping area of this list box and other controls. But if we manually overlap listbox and some other control,the focus cannot remain on the list box in this overlapped area,but focus goes to other control. Can someone tell me how to make the focus remain on the list box though the list box and some other controls get overlapped. Thanks in advance Raghu

The list box portion of a combo box is handled specially. It's actually a child of the desktop, not the combobox itself or the dialog. That way, the list can extend outside of the parent dialog (look at the Start->Run dialog for an example). -- I'm Michael Dunn and I approve this post. Vote Trogdor in oh-four!
