Well I guess you cant see it from where I sit..
I don't want to change the style in mid flight, have you see what happens to the control when you do that ?
I have code where I can at any point lock the EDIT box and it does not effect the control what so ever...
And I don't like the greyed out effect...
I just implemented the SendMessage(EdithandleOfCOmbo, EM_SETREADONLY, Ture/false, 0);
it works perfectly that way. At least on that app but this will only work in windows.
Changing the style isn't the answer, it causes hardship in mid flight.
EDIT
While we're at it, the TComboBoxEX seems to be useless, I don't remember it being this crippled...
Most if not all of the autocomplete functions don't work, do nothing etc..
It seems like a waste of real-estate in IDE.
