I use EnableWindow(FALSE) to set the state of a CExtComboBox in a CExtToolControlBar to disabled. Immediately after the call, the combo box goes disabled. However, whenever I move the cursor over the box, it becomes enabled again.



How do I keep it disabled?

Please add a command updating method for the button which was used for attaching a combo box control in the toolbar and enable this command. Alternatively you can add a command hander method for this button.

Toolbar buttons are controlled by MFC’s command updating mechanism. If a toolbar button has no handler/updating methods, it will be disabled. If some window is attached to a toolbar button, the window’s enabled state is automatically synchronized with the state of the toolbar button.
