This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Yes, confirmation that editable set to 1 does not fix it. It in fact makes it worse because with the others that don't work they will at least set the text when I press tab to go through all the tab positions.
One other note is the very top one which is probably the first one I create in the panel works fine. I think it is something to do with this. Here is a very brief snippet of my combo box creation processes: m_pObjectDisplay = new CModelPanel(this, "ModelDisplay", "models/breen.mdl"); m_pObjectDisplay->SetModelRotating(0,0.5,0); m_pCategoryMenu = new ComboBox(this, "Categories", 3, false); m_pCategoryMenu->SetOpenDirection( Menu::DOWN ); m_pObjectMenu = new ComboBox(this, "Objects", 100, false); m_pObjectMenu->SetOpenDirection( Menu::DOWN ); m_pTeamMenu = new ComboBox(this, "Teams", 20, false); m_pTeamMenu->SetOpenDirection( Menu::DOWN ); m_pNPCWepsMenu = new ComboBox(this, "NPCWeps", 20, false); m_pNPCWepsMenu->SetOpenDirection( Menu::DOWN ); m_pPlayerMenu = new ComboBox(this, "Commanders", 32, false); m_pPlayerMenu->SetOpenDirection( Menu::DOWN ); m_pModelsMenu = new ComboBox(this, "Models", 100, false); m_pModelsMenu->SetOpenDirection( Menu::DOWN ); I then add menu options in a few ways. Objects are populated based on category. The category is forced to the first category choice when the panel is to be shown. This causes it to also call the OnCommand for that category which populates it with the objects for that category. Team menu is populated by iterating over the global team list. NPC Weapons are hand added in ie multiple AddMenuItems() for each menu item. Player menu iterates over the players and adds all player entindexes which are not null and are in the team selected in the team menu. Models menu reads in a file which just lists a bunch of models. It is static as well for the life of the panel. It is this way because you select a category of which you have currently choices of vehicles, weapons, npcs. You then select an object of that type. All the objects of vehicles and weapons have a predefined model. The models, team, npc weapons, and player are all used only for npcs. Model tells it what model to use, npc weapon tells it the weapon to use, player tells it who to consider its commander. All the combo boxes are set to option 0 on showing of the panel to ensure no unselected choices because that was causing crashes in my console command generation. And it makes no sense for each one to not select a default.
