TcxBarEditItem - cxCheckComboBox - The editor discards an entered value when losing focus if the TdxBarManager.AlwaysSaveText property is set to True

Hello Lukas,

You can enable the Bar Manager's AlwaysSaveText property to keep the editor's value unchanged when you focus another UI element. Please review the following help topic for details: "TdxBarManager.AlwaysSaveText". In addition, you can enable the editor's Properties.ImmediatePost property to immediately save the changed values.

I am slightly concerned about the subject of your ticket. You say that the editor "stop working". Do you mean that the behavior was different in your previous version of our controls? Would you please specify the number of that version?

Hi Paulo!

Thanks for you reply.
I post bad example and incomplete description. Sorry.

Problem appeared in recent version. VCL 20.1.2. was ok. I have AlwaysSaveText property enabled in my project. EditValueFormat is set to "cvfStatesString". After changing CheckComboBox and exiting element, value of EditValue property doesn't contain StatesString but comma separeted list of selected items and element look like clear visually. Please watch attached video and corrected example.

Thanks

Thanks a lot! Now I understand the difference. We will examine this issue and try to find a general solution.
Meanwhile, you can modify the TcxBarEditItemControl.Hide method in the cxBarEditItem.pas unit in the following manner to restore the v20.1.2 behavior:

Delphi
procedure TcxBarEditItemControl.Hide(AStoreDisplayValue: Boolean);
begin
  if Edit <> nil then
    if not (csDestroying in BarManager.ComponentState) then
    begin
      if not IsWindowEnabled {or not CanHide} then
      begin
        Item.FPrevOnEditValueChanged := Edit.InternalProperties.OnEditValueChanged;
        Edit.InternalProperties.OnEditValueChanged := Item.DoEditValueChanged;
      end;

      FEditValueBeforeHiding := Edit.EditingValue;
      FIsEditValueAssigned := False;

      LockCMActivateMessages(True);
      FakeWinControl.Parent := nil;
      LockCMActivateMessages(False);

      EditorParentForm.SetBounds(0, 0, 0, 0);
      DisableAppWindows(not IsApplicationActive);
      try
        if EditorParentForm.HandleAllocated then
          EditorParentForm.FocusControl(nil);
        Edit.Parent := nil;
        if IsDropDownEdit then
        begin
          PopupWindow.ActiveControl := nil;
          TcxCustomPopupWindowAccess(PopupWindow).FPrevActiveForm := EditorParentForm.FPrevActiveForm;
          TcxCustomPopupWindowAccess(PopupWindow).FPrevActiveControl := EditorParentForm.FPrevActiveControl;
        end;

        LockCMActivateMessages(True);
        EditorParentForm.SafePassFocus; 
        LockCMActivateMessages(false);
      finally
        EnableAppWindows;
      end;
      EditorParentForm.DefocusControl(Edit, True);
      ClearEditEvents;
      ClearViewInfoEvents(Edit.ViewInfo);
      EditorParentForm.Visible := False;
      EditorParentForm.ParentWindow := 0;
      Item.DoExit;
      if AStoreDisplayValue then
        StoreDisplayValue;
      FEdit := nil;
    end
    else
    begin
      ClearEditEvents;
      ClearViewInfoEvents(Edit.ViewInfo);
    end;
end;
