Thanks oleg and SuperMario. I wasn't aware that CommandBar.Parent pointed to the control that triggered the event, that is helpful.

Remember though that VB6's If isnt short-circuited so
If (Not CommandBar.Parent Is Nothing) And (CommandBar.Parent.Type = xtpControlComboBox) Then
should be split to two ifs. Curse those stupid VB6 quirks! :)

Thanks again.]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2004 17:50:55 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1327&PID=3754&title=combo-execute-vs-clicked-vs-keydown#3754 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1327&PID=3737&title=combo-execute-vs-clicked-vs-keydown#3737 Author: SuperMario

This event is fired any time a drop-down/popup is displayed.  Inthe event you must test to see what triggered the event so you can acton it appropriately.  All you really need to do is look at theParent property.

If (Not CommandBar.Parent Is Nothing) And (CommandBar.Parent.Type = xtpControlComboBox) Then
    Dim myCombo As CommandBarComboBox
    Set myCombo = CommandBar.Parent.Id
   
    'Your combobox code here
   
End If

CommandBar.Position = xtpBarListBox for combo list.]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2004 06:44:55 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1327&PID=3736&title=combo-execute-vs-clicked-vs-keydown#3736 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1327&PID=3729&title=combo-execute-vs-clicked-vs-keydown#3729 Author: dajv

That helps, thanks.
I notice that this event passes a XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar object. Is there a way to determine from this what triggered the event? For example, as well as triggering when the combo is dropped-down, it is also triggered when a popup menu is shown. I'm only interested in when the combo is dropped down.

Its not essential, but would be helpful to know.

Thanks again.]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2004 01:12:03 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1327&PID=3729&title=combo-execute-vs-clicked-vs-keydown#3729 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1327&PID=3718&title=combo-execute-vs-clicked-vs-keydown#3718 Author: SuperMario

The InitCommandsPopup event is fired when the combobox is dropped down(the dop-down button is clicked).  Then the Execute event is firedwhen they click\hit enter on a selection.]]> Wed, 27 Oct 2004 08:21:08 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1327&PID=3718&title=combo-execute-vs-clicked-vs-keydown#3718 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1327&PID=3713&title=combo-execute-vs-clicked-vs-keydown#3713 Author: dajv

Gday,

How can I differ between when a user has pressed enter and when they have clicked on the combobox? They both trigger the Execute event, and I can't see how I determine the user's action.

Normally in VB you would use the "Click" and KeyPress/Down events. How can I do this with the CommandBarComboBox?

The desired effect is that when someone presses enter on the combo, i do a lookup based on the control.text, whereas when they "click" on the combo i don't need to a lookup beacuse the item they have clicked on already exists.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks]]> Wed, 27 Oct 2004 02:33:03 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1327&PID=3713&title=combo-execute-vs-clicked-vs-keydown#3713
