CXTPControlEdit & context help conflict

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Using 11.2.2 version of tools.  I have a ribbon bar based application.  Also using html help.  I am trying to setup context sensitive help (user presses the F1 key while on a control, the relevant help section in the help file is displayed).

If I have a CXTPControlEdit control in the ribbon bar and if it has focus and the help file is open the help file becomes unresponsive.  The help window will not accept any input.  It can be dragged, but not closed.  

If the focus is switched to another control the help window behaves correctly.  Focus back on the edit control and the help file locks again.

I am able to produce the problem in the exampe SDI Ribbon project.

	Hello, Thanks, I see. As workaround for now add virtual virtual void WinHelpInternal(DWORD_PTR dwData, UINT nCmd = HELP_CONTEXT); ... void CRibbonSampleApp::WinHelpInternal(DWORD_PTR dwData, UINT nCmd ) { XTPMouseManager()->SendTrackLost(); CWinApp::WinHelpInternal(dwData, nCmd); } it will close all popups and kill edit focus befo show HtmlHelp.

	This only partially solved the problem. This works in when tne initial F1 key is pressed. However if you change focus back to the edit control in the application the problem comes back. This is a minor enough issue I'll be happy if you can resolve when you do your next toolkit update. Workaround is of little priority. Thanks,
