Hello Daniel

I like DropGrid control. To make it a little more standard I propose you a couple of changes in DropGrid.cpp:

- Now if control is not editable, it appears with white background as editable
To fix it the change would be:

void DropGrid::Paint(Draw& w)
...
Color bg = !IsEnabled() || !IsEditable() ? ... // Added || !IsEditable()

- When doing a SetData(Null) or just clearing the value in ClearValue() or DoClearValue(), SetFocus() is called Smile

.
As in my program a WhenAction function in an EditString is calling droplist.SetData(Null), the EditString loses the focus Smile

. However when inserting non Null data, focus is not lost. Smile

To fix it just remove SetFocus() in both methods.

I would like to get a derived DropGrid control but editable at the same time that drop list is shown. Where in the code drop list is cleared when control loses the focus?

Best regards
Iñaki
