Hi,

I derived the class CMyComboBox from CComboBoxEx and
when we select the entry from it then it is closing combo box but i do not want to close it for some entries in the combo box.

how do i do this?

e.g.
following are the entries in combo box

---Departments---
Dep_Name1
Dep_Name2

so here, when we select the entry '---Departments---' then i dont want to close combo box.

how do i do this?
