hi,

i noticed a quire behaviour with the dockbar and suitecontrols.combobox - when the combobox is placed on a form and the form is then docked on to the main form that has a dockingpane, dockpane (i beleive) 'eats' up the dropdown action. apparently this also happens with the ms-combobox.

I donno if and how soon this will be fixed but am trying to avoid using other ways of displaying pick-items. hope it will be fixed for next sub-release.

regards,

Hi oleg,
 
Looks got something to do with ribbonbar since it works fine if MDI form has no ribbonbar.
 
av used ribbonMDIsample http://forum.codejock.com/uploads/20071002_092846_RibbonMDISample.zip - uploads/20071002_092846_RibbonMDISample.zip
 
note: all is ok if form is not MDIchild.
 
thanks

Hello,
 
Sorry, didn't see post with sample :-( When you submit some bugs/problems better use issuetrack than forum.
 
Yes, when another Form used as pane for MDI child, vb failed to find right control to set focus.
 
For MDI childs we very recommend instead of external forms use controls from same form as childs for panes.
 
in frmDocument add PctureBox, add Combo to this picturebox and attach picturebox to pane instead of frmPane.

We have a similar problem, only with textboxes where the control won't get given the focus when you click on it. Agree with joeliner than the ribbonbar combination might have something to do with it as this is the only thing different i see to your sample (which works fine).

joeliner - does the problem go away if the pane is floated as this seems to fix it for us...?

Hi philb,
 
Thanks. For my case wont like to float pane since am calling forms from dll to create a composite form wit different options. Al try out oleg's advise and observe if any difference.
 
regards,
