[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Combo boxes in Actor

borkoles@cs.qmw.ac.uk (Borkoles) (12/13/90)

I have been assuming that I could recieve the messages
corresponding to the list box message for 'user has made a
selection' and 'user has double clicked a selection' for combo
boxes as well. But it doesn't work. The code for list boxes
says that if the long word recieved by WM_COMMAND (translated
to command() message by WindowsObject)
has its high word set to 2 then the user has made
a selection (2 for double click and 1 for single I think). But
the only messages that command() gets for combo boxes have the
high word set to 3,4 and 7 (get focus, drop box etc.). What is
happening, any suggestions? The combo boxes are much neater
than a list box. What am I doing wrong? Is there a 'fix'
for this?
