    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://forum.codejock.com/member_profile.asp?PF=3003">mrmathis</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 12784<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 24 November 2008 at 3:53pm<br /><br /><DIV>Clicking outside a menu dropped from the ribbon clears the selection from my application.&nbsp; I see the same behavior in the Ribbon sample, but not in Microsoft Word.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Here's how to see what I mean.&nbsp; Run the ribbon sample and select some text (e.g. "I'm using your Report Control...").&nbsp; Now, select the arrow beside the font size control in the ribbon.&nbsp; Move the mouse down beside the&nbsp;dropdown to, say, somewhere around where it says "Customer Feedback" and click.&nbsp; The drop menu is dismissed (good), but the selected text becomes unselected (bad).</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Repeat this workflow with any document in MS Word.&nbsp; Everything is the same except that the selected text stays selected.&nbsp; My guess is that Codejock is not eating the click event after processing it, but instead is passing it along to the app, which interprets it as a clear-selection request.&nbsp; Is there any way to mimic the Word behavior by making CJ eat the click?</DIV>]]>
