Hi all,

I have a VB UserControl that contains a CommandBars and Shortcut Bar control as well as a TreeView control. The TreeView control has been embedded into the Shortcut bar client area:

Set oItem = ShortcutBar1.AddItem(m_lTabID, strTabName, TreeView1.hWnd)

In the MouseUp event for the TreeView control I have the following code to create and show a popup menu:

    Dim oPopup As CommandBar

    Set oPopup = CommandBars.Add("Popup", xtpBarPopup)
    With oPopup.Controls
        .Add xtpControlButton, 100, "&Open"
        .Add xtpControlButton, 101, "&New"
        .Add xtpControlButton, 102, "&Delete"
    End With
    oPopup.ShowPopup

The popup displays and works fine but the problem is when you use the up/down arrow keys. Focus is changing on the popup menu, which it correct, but focus is also being changed in the TreeView control. Pressing the up/down arrows keys with an open popup menu should not cause the TreeView to change the current selection.

Any ideas how to prevent this unwanted behavior?

Thanks,

Kevin
