Looking for an example of a modeless dialog with a combobox

[mkweaver]

I am working on a modeless dialog with a combobox.  The only time I want the dialog to keep focus is when the combobox has focus.  I've not been able to achieve this.

I thought I could respond to the setfocus event, expecting it to fire when I clicked in the edit box, but clicking in the edit box doesn't seem to fire the setfocus event.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike

Hello mkweaver, I hope I understand you right but try a

Code (autolisp) Select Expand

(dcl_Control_SetKeepFocus MyProj_MyForm T)

within c:MyProj_MyForm_MyCombobox_OnSetFocus and a

Code (autolisp) Select Expand

(dcl_Control_SetKeepFocus MyProj_MyForm nil)

within c:MyProj_MyForm_MyCombobox_OnKillFocus. Please have a try with the attached sample. I hope that is what you're looking for.
