Hi All,

I have a bit of a problem. This is happening with GTK2.

I have a StringGrid where when the column header is clicked on, a ComboBox appears in the header in the dropped down state. The dropped down state is done in the mouseDown event of the StringGrid by doing ComboBox.DroppedDown := true .

The Combobox only stays dropped down while mouse is down. Preferably I would like it to stay dropped even if the mouse is released, and only close when a selection is made.

The other more serious problem is that once the ComboBox is used, I cannot select anything else outside of the StringGrid. I guess what must be happening is that once the ComboBox pops up it steals the mouse from the StringGrid, with no proper finish on the StringGrid side of it.

Is there something I can do to get around these problems ?

To note, If I do not have the ComboBox show in the dropped-down state by doing DroppedDown := true, these problems do not happen, but then you have to click to have the ComboBox to have it appear and click again to have it drop down. Not what I want.

BTW, this code runs OK on Delphi with ComboBox staying dropped down and proper mouse release.


Thanks,
George
