From reading this list it seems I'm wasn't the only Win32::GUI user
befuddled by droplist style Combobox control not catching mouse clicks
and other events. I spent way too much time yesterday RTFM, digging
for a solution, and trying to get it to work but finally today
stumbled into the solution:
If you create a Window and Combobox control like so:
$Window = new Win32::GUI::Window( ... options ... );
$Window->AddCombobox( ... options .... );
...and if your main window is processing messages like so:
$Window->Dialog();
...then it seems that not all messages (such as mouse clicks) are
filtered down to the Combobox control (thus not allowing droplist
items to be selected with mouse clicks) unless you change the above
statement to this:
GUI::Dialog();
...or I suppose Win32::GUI::Dialog() would work just the same, and
presto, now you can mouse click on items in the Combobox droplist.
Seems to affect which messages are being passed down to the Combobox
control via its parent window.
I don't know if this is a Win32::GUI::Combobox bug or what but anyhow
hope this hint is useful to other users running into similar issues.
