I want to use report control with in place edition, like in the ReportSample tasklist dialog.

Problem is, when I type some text in an edit box with a dropdown list, the dropdown combobox is always closed.

I can't type text in the edit control while the popup listbox is opened.

Is there a way to work around this?

I create a CXTPReportColumn with a combobox (pColumn->GetEditOptions()->AddCombobox(), also set m_bAllowEdit to true and m_bConstraintEdit to false so I can type text in the editbox).

I've noticed that CXTPReportInplaceList::OnKillFocus (the killfocus message handler for the popup listbox) closes the popup. This is the reason why the popup closes itself when the edit control has the focus.

How to be able to type text in the editbox while the popup control is open, like in a standard combobox?

So it's not possible to get the popup displayed when I type text in a report control, like in a regular combobox? :(
