When I use a controlpopup button to display a menu it shows the drop down triangle next to the icon. How do I turn it off?

Thanks

Hi,

instead xptControlPopup use xtpControlButtonPopup...

Thanks for that Oleg - it works fine.

I am trying to mimic a calendar type popup control - by using a command bar and adding a calendar within a picture box to a xtpcontrolcustom. (If I just use the handle of the Calendar control it dissapears when you click on it.)

    Dim cbcc As CommandBarControlCustom, cbb As CommandBarButton, cbp As CommandBarPopup

    Set cbcc = .ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlCustom, ID_TEXT1, "")
        cbcc.Handle = Text1.hwnd
        cbcc.Flags = xtpFlagControlStretched

    Set cbp = .ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlButtonPopup, ID_DatePickerDropDown, "")
        cbp.Style = xtpButtonIcon
        cbp.IconId = 1
        cbp.ToolTipText = "Select a date from the calendar."
        Set cbcc = cbp.CommandBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlCustom, ID_DatePicker, " ")
            cbcc.Handle = picDatePicker1.hwnd
            cbcc.Style = xtpButtonAutomatic

When I click the value on the calendar it puts it in the text box but then i need to close the expanded menu to hide the calendar. I do this by executing the command button and then setting the focus to the text box.

    Text1 = DatePicker1.Selection.Blocks(0).DateBegin
    Dim cbp As CommandBarPopup
    Set cbp = cbToolbar.FindControl(, ID_DatePickerDropDown)
        cbp.Execute
    Text1.SetFocus

However, my problem is this - the calendar button still retains the highlight box (focus rectangle) around it until you hover the mouse back over the control. How do I get rid of this and am I going about this the wrong way?

Thanks again

Lee
