/*
The native control provides a great variety in the events it sends in
the different selection scenarios (undoubtedly for greater amusement of
- the programmers using it). For the reference, here are the cases when
- the final selection is accepted (things are quite interesting when it
- is cancelled too):
+ the programmers using it). Here are the different cases:
A. Selecting with just the arrows without opening the dropdown:
1. CBN_SELENDOK
Admire the different order of messages in all of those cases, it must
surely have taken a lot of effort to Microsoft developers to achieve
such originality.
+
+ Additionally, notice that CBN_SELENDCANCEL doesn't seem to actually
+ cancel anything, if we get CBN_SELCHANGE before it, as it happens in
+ the case (B), the selection is still accepted. This doesn't make much
+ sense and directly contradicts MSDN documentation but is how the native
+ comboboxes behave and so we do the same thing.
