Editbox portion of ComboBox gets selected automatically

Question

I have a small problem that has been annoying me for some hours.

In my WinForms (.NET 3.5) application I create some ComboBoxes (DropDownStyle = DropDown) in a Table

Answer 1

Worked for me to change the selectionLength to 0 when the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED gets called. Works even with the tableLayoutPanel set to %.

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
    base.WndProc(ref m);

    if(m.Msg == 0x0047) {   // WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED = 0x0047 
        if (SelectionLength != 0) {
            SelectionLength = 0;
        }
    }
}
