[RESOLVED] Combobox dropdown does not react to mouse input
[187 byte] By [philkr] at [2007-11-19 19:33:31] 
If I click the dropdown arrow on my combobox the dropdown menu appears correctly, but I can only control it using the keyboard. It does not react to mouse input. What is going wrong here?
# 1 Re: [RESOLVED] Combobox dropdown does not react to mouse input
I tried the following and it works fine:HWND hComboBox;
hComboBox = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "COMBOBOX", "",
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBS_SIMPLE | CBS_DROPDOWN,
0, 0, 100, 100, hwnd, (HMENU)IDC_COMBO, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);
SendMessage (hComboBox, CB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM) "Item1");
SendMessage (hComboBox, CB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM) "Item2");
if(hComboBox == NULL)
MessageBox(hwnd, "Could not create.", "Error", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);
Can you post your code?

I found the error. It had something to do with the message loop for the dialog.I had it like this:
while(GetMessage(&msg, hDlg, 0, 0) > 0)
{
if(!IsDialogMessage(hDlg, &msg))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
But it must have been like this:
while(GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0) > 0)
{
if(!IsDialogMessage(hDlg, &msg))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
