Killing the Default Combo Box Edit Context Menu

[Gilske]

Does anybody know how to kill the default Combo box Edit Context menu of multiple combo boxes on the same form?

I've found some code but it won't work with more than 1 box on the form.

Thnx in advance

Hey,

Kind of a bootstrap way to handle it, but you may be able to put the individual boxes on separate frames...that usually separates them....that's what I use for radio buttons and it works fine.

Good luck

By the way, if you use the frame idea, know that it may throw off any tab settings that you have....

Good luck

What code did you try? One way is to subclass the combos and discard the right mouse click message. Although each control has to be subclassed and unsubclassed seperately, you can point them all to a single WindowProc to process the messages.
