Edit:
the problem fixed, so it no longer needs. (PB 4.50 RC1+)

Newly introduced ComboBoxGadget(non-editable ComboBoxEx) doesn't work tab and shift + tab key for moving the keyboard focus, so needs a trick.
See the following code.

Code: Select all

#CBEM_GETEDITCONTROL = #WM_USER + 7 ;$407
#CBEM_GETCOMBOCONTROL = #WM_USER + 6  ;$406

Macro GetComboBoxEditHandle(hwndCombo)
  SendMessage_(hwndCombo, #CBEM_GETEDITCONTROL, 0, 0)
EndMacro

Procedure SetTabStop(gadget)  ;for non-editable ComboBox. PB v4.50 beta3+
  Protected hwnd
  If IsGadget(gadget)
    hwnd = GadgetID(gadget)
    SetWindowLongPtr_(hwnd, #GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLongPtr_(hwnd, #GWL_STYLE) & ~#WS_TABSTOP) ;Shift + Tab
    ;hwnd = FindWindowEx_(hwnd, 0, 0, 0)
    hwnd = SendMessage_(hwnd, #CBEM_GETCOMBOCONTROL, 0, 0)
    SetWindowLongPtr_(hwnd, #GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLongPtr_(hwnd, #GWL_STYLE) | #WS_TABSTOP)  ;Tab
  EndIf
EndProcedure

  #Gadget2
