Translating C#

[Matthew]

I'm having the same problem described in this thread:
http://tinyurl.com/9n66u

The issue was solved with this C# code:
public class MyCombo : ComboBox
{
private const int WM_KEYUP = 0x101;

protected override void WndProc(ref
System.Windows. Forms.Message m)
{
if(m.Msg == WM_KEYUP)
{
return;
}
base.WndProc(re f m);
}

}

I think I have translated it to VB.NET properly:
Public Class MyCombo
Inherits DataGridComboBo x
Public Const WM_KEYUP As Integer = &H101
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As
System.Windows. Forms.Message)
If (m.Msg = WM_KEYUP) Then
Return
End If
MyBase.WndProc( m)
End Sub
End Class

However, I can't get it to work.

Can somebody take a look at it for me?

Thanks...

Matthew

The first class inherits from 'ComboBox' whereas the second class inherits
from 'DataGridComboB ox'. What's 'DataGridComboB ox'?

Re: Translating C#

Oops!
Thanks for the reply.

DataGridComboBo x is a cell in a DataGrid that acts like a ComboBox.
The problem is, when I tab over to it, it's like I hit tab twice. I go
right by it!
The arrow keys work fine.
This code is supposed to trap that tab keystroke.

I fixed that mistake you pointed out, but it still does not work.
Any further ideas?

Matthew,

I made some changes on that one, which is probably as well not original,
there are lot of samples from comboboxes on the net.. I don't even know
anymore what I changed. Maybe you can try it.

http://www.windowsformsdatagridhelp.com/default.aspx?ID=1eb83247-7464-467e-a9dd-faf92f41f563

There is as well the columnstyle on our website.

I hope this helps,

Re: Translating C#

Cor,

Wow! That traps tabs!
One last problem. When I comment out this line:
cmbTxtCol.Colum nComboBox.DropD ownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.D ropDownList

It doesn't work properly. I need a the DropDown style, not
DropDownList. That way people can type in it kind of like a textbox.
That code still has the tab problem with the DropDown style.

Re: Translating C#

Matthew,

It is already a while ago that I made/changed this. And in VB2005 the
combobox is a part of the DataGridView, I hope you don't mind that I don't
want to put no time anymore in this.
