There are two things that need to be discussed about the in-place active editor in the built in combo box button. Both can be demonstrated with the StyleEditor sample application.
1) We cannot confirm that there is a problem when pressing the left or right ALT key in the editor. It works exactly like in MS Office applications. The WM_SYSKEYDOWN with VK_MENU key code specified does not destroy the editor. The corresponding WM_SYSKEYUP activates the menu bar.
2) The in-place editor does not allow you to type characters using the code input as you did. This bug can be fixed by updating the source code for the CExtBarTextFieldButton::CInPlaceEditWnd::PreTranslateMessage() and CExtBarTextFieldButton::CInPlaceEditWnd::WindowProc() methods in ExtPopupCtrlMenu.cpp file:
BOOL CExtBarTextFieldButton::CInPlaceEditWnd::PreTranslateMessage( MSG * pMsg )
