m_bShowNonActiveInPlaceButton

   I have a report control where some rows have a combobox.  I want the combobox to always be drawn.  Like the property grid allows.

So, I do the following:

Set the flag m_bShowNonActiveInPlaceButton to TRUE in the paint manager
When adding the item, I call pItem->GetEditOptions(NULL)->AddComboButton(TRUE).
This always draws the combobox, but when I click on the combobox button, the combobox does not expand.  Instead the row is selected and I have two overlapping comboboxes drawn.  Clicking on the second comobox expands the combobox list.

	Try MFC Sample - ReportDialog - with little changes in OnInitDialog: CXTPReportRecord* pRec = m_wndReportCtrl.AddRecord(new CMessageRecord(msgImportanceNormal, FALSE, TRUE, _T("postmaster@mail.codejock.com"), _T("Undeliverable Mail"), odtSent, 7, TRUE, 10, odtCreated, odtReceived, strEmpty, strEmpty, strMessage, strEmpty, strEmpty, strEmpty, strEmpty, strEmpty, strMessage)); odtSent -= 80; pRec->GetItem(3)->GetEditOptions(NULL)->m_bConstraintEdit = FALSE; pRec->GetItem(3)->GetEditOptions(NULL)->AddConstraint(_T("Low"), 0); pRec->GetItem(3)->GetEditOptions(NULL)->AddConstraint(_T("Normal"), 1); pRec->GetItem(3)->GetEditOptions(NULL)->AddConstraint(_T("High"), 2); pRec->GetItem(3)->GetEditOptions(NULL)->m_bAllowEdit = FALSE; pRec->GetItem(3)->GetEditOptions(NULL)->AddComboButton(TRUE); m_wndReportCtrl.AllowEdit(TRUE); m_wndReportCtrl.FocusSubItems(TRUE); m_wndReportCtrl.GetPaintManager()->m_bShowNonActiveInPlaceButton = TRUE; Working fine on XP

	Retest same app on Win7 - now with Aero ON. On Combo button click picklist shows for very short moment and disapears. Without Aero - as good as on XP.

	I downloaded the sample and ran it. Two things I notice: 1) If I click on the combobox down arrow icon, the combobox does not expand. It just puts the focus on the row. 2) After clicking on the icon, the displayed icon is narrower than the other icons and there is a black vertical line to the left of it. --Larry
