SetDropDownListStyle changes behavior in Ribbon

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

   I found a strange difference in how a combo box gallery is working in a Ribbon. The behavior can be see in the examples by changing the pCombo->SetDropDownListStyle() to pCombo->SetDropDownListStyle(FALSE), e.g. for the Font Size control. The FALSE should according to the documentation make the combo box edit box read only.

The strange effect can be seen above. When the value is e.g. 36 and pCombo->SetDropDownListStyle()  is used we get a drop-down list with 36 selected (as expected) and seen in the samples. If I change it to pCombo->SetDropDownListStyle(FALSE) I get the behavior in the right most image. The selection is set to the first item in the list.
I believe this is a bug. Anyway to get the expected behavior?

	Ok found the answer myself :-) Instead of using pCombo->SetDropDownListStyle(FALSE) I use the combination: pCombo->SetDropDownListStyle() and pCombo->SetEditStyle(ES_READONLY); Then I get the same effect. But I still think the other way should work also.
