DoClickDropDown

Synthesize a click on the dropdown arrow.

C

void SftButton_DoClickDropDown(HWND hwndCtl);

C++

void CSftButton::DoClickDropDown();

Parameters

hwndCtl

The window handle of the button control. The button must have fShowDropDown set to TRUE.

Comments

DoClickDropDown generates the SFTBUTTONN_DROPDOWNCLICK notification and the matching pressed-state visual for the dropdown sidebar. Calling it on a button without a dropdown is a no-op.

Typical use is a keyboard shortcut (F4, Alt+Down) that should open the dropdown menu without the user having to move the mouse to the arrow.
