I see the same behavior in Explorer, in Folder tree. Come to think of
it, this makes sense. You may want to start dragging, rather than
switching focus. In this situation, switching focus and changing the
content of the right pane is not a good idea - you may have wanted to
drag into the folder currently displayed in said right pane.

CCommandBarCtrl menu underlining won't turn on

Hi everyone,

A couple of issues with menu underlining:

1. It used to work that if you press the Alt key the menu underlining would
appear while Alt was pressed. Does anyone know what you're supposed to do
with CCommandBarCtrl to turn on menu underlining while the Alt key is
pressed down? It's related to member variable m_bShowKeyboardCues and
m_bUseKeyboardCues somehow...

2. Office 2003 seems to underline menu letters always now. Does anyone know
if this is what Microsoft recommends now? i.e. was hiding the underlined
characters just an "experiment" in Windows 2000 that Microsoft is now
getting away from. Clearly if we're always supposed to underline then I
don't have to worry about #1 above.

Thanks in advance,

--Kevin

A good guideline is to always follow the operating system. Office 
changes its interface far too often and with too little need to bother 
keeping up with.

I don't know about your other issue, to be honest I don't tend to notice 
the underlining much... but isn't it a user setting (whether or not to 
show underlines all the time)?

RE: CCommandBarCtrl menu underlining won't turn on

Yes it is a user setting, but I'm trying to get the proper messages to
CCommandBarCtrl so that it respects the setting. Standard apps will show the
underlines as soon as the Alt key is pressed.

RE: Re: XP Theme Issues

Well, I'm still seeing a black drop down list in the area not covered by the
strings.  I was able to get rid of it, but lose all reflected notifications.
Here's what I did to get rid of it.  Maybe it'll spark some insight in
someone.

In my outer label control, my message map normally looks like:

BEGIN_MSG_MAP( CLUIControlLabel )
    REFLECT_NOTIFICATIONS()
END_MSG_MAP()

My inner combobox child's message map appears as so:
BEGIN_MSG_MAP( CLUIComboBox )
	COMMAND_CODE_HANDLER( CBN_SELCHANGE, OnSelChanged )
	COMMAND_CODE_HANDLER( CBN_DROPDOWN, OnDropDown)
      MESSAGE_HANDLER( WM_SHOWWINDOW, OnShowComboBox )
      DEFAULT_REFLECTION_HANDLER()
END_MSG_MAP()

Now, if I remove the REFLECT_NOTIFICATIONS macro from the 1st message map
above, the comboboxes drop down list paints correctly and looks fine.
However, since my static label is used as the parent of a lot of different
control types, I lose the notification reflection.  Anyone know why removing
it would cause the combobox to finally paint fine?  Is there something I can
do that would keep the REFLECT_NOTIFICATIONS macro in the outer control
while still allowing the combobox to paint correctly?

-Mark

You shouldn't have to do anything.  The CCommandBarCtrl is supposed 
to act just like a standard menu would act given your system's 
current settings.  Either the menu char is always underlined or its 
underlined when VK_MENU is pressed.

If you want to force menu char underlining always, I believe setting 
m_bUseKeyboardCues to false and calling ShowKeyboardCues(true) will 
do it. This will have to be done after WM_CREATE and after each 
WM_SETTINGCHANGE received by the command bar.

Roger!  You da man!  That did the trick.  I've been pulling my hair out over
this for way too long.  Your explanation makes sense too.  Now I can close
this stinking defect.

RE: Re: XP Theme Issues

Roger and/or others,

Suppose you don't happen to also know why the text for checkboxes are
displayed with a gray background rather than the theme background?
