Detecting a mouse click outside of control

arran.s · #1 21-Oct-2004, 06:33

Hi,

I have a CDateTimeCtrl which I am growing in size when the focus is set and shrinking back to its normal size when focus is killed.

at the moment the only way I can get the control to lose focus is to set the focus onto another control.

Ideally when the user clicks anywhere outside of the control the focus should be lost and the CDateTimeCtrl shrink back to its normal size.

the ComboBox control obvioulsy does something similar but can I do it with my CDateTimeCtrl? I am using eVC++ 3 for Windows CE.

Many thanks

Arran

I think you should go with this....

Just give the focus to another control (I used a button) when the user clicks the dialog:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

void CTestingDlg::OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point) 
{

	m_button.SetFocus();
	m_button.SetButtonStyle(1);

	CDialog::OnLButtonDown(nFlags, point);
}

Hope this is good enough for you - I don't have another idea right now

Kind regards,
Luci
