    Question Combobox in toolbar question....

    Ok, I get how to add a combox to the end of a toolbar...

    Just create the combox as a child of the toolbar and away it goes...

    But how do you put one at the beginning or in the middle of the buttons?

    That is... how do you get the buttons to move out of the way?

    (This is the first time I've tried this... fwiw)

    Never mind.... Figured it out....

    Just create a text button on the toolbar where the combobox will sit and pad it out with spaces....

    Well... that almost worked.

    Only thing is I can't tab to the combobox...

    Any suggestions?

    Did you create it with the WS_TABSTOP window style?

    Yep... but because it's a child of the toolbar, it never see the tabs... You can tab to a toolbar but you can't tab inside one...

    I tried subclassing with the Want Tab response to WM_GETDLGCODE message, tried creating the combobox inside the subclass... I can get it to display correctly but there's just now way to tab to it.

    I even tried using a rebar control and you STILL can't tab to it.

    Normally I would not make a fuss over this but I have a couple of users who are disabled and mousing just isn't their thing...
