ModStyle with CBS_DROPDOWNLIST on a combo box doesn't work

[Quin]

Hi,
I have a combo box in my application that I create like so:

Code: [Select]

    EngineCombo = Bcx_Combobox("SAPI5", MainForm, 101, 110, 30, 100, 21)
    Modstyle(VoiceCombo, CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
The combo box creates, but the edit field doesn't go away. Is there a way I can accomplish this?

The edit field is its own Windows control with its own message loop, so no that won't work.

But this will, if your goal is to hide the edit box:

Code: [Select]

GUI "Form1", PIXELS

CONST Cmb1_Style = WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_TABSTOP|CBS_HASSTRINGS|CBS_SORT|CBS_DROPDOWN
const ID_Cmb1 = WM_USER + 100
   

GLOBAL Form1 AS HWND
GLOBAL hCmb1 AS CONTROL


SUB FORMLOAD()
    Form1 = BCX_FORM("Form1", 0, 0, 805, 406)
    hCmb1 = BCX_COMBOBOX("", Form1, ID_Cmb1, 28, 25, 349, 21, Cmb1_Style)

    '============ HIDE EDIT CONTROL ==================

    DIM AS HWND hEdit = FindWindowEx(hCmb1, NULL, "Edit", NULL)
    IF hEdit THEN HIDE (hEdit)

    '============================================

    CENTER(Form1)
    SHOW(Form1)
END SUB



BEGIN EVENTS
END EVENTS

Kevin,
Thanks to you, did it a different way

I didn't need to manually hide the edit control, I just took your Combo_Style line, removed CBS_Sort, and changed CBS_DROPDOWN to CBS_DROPDOWNLIST and it all works now
