    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!

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