Why? As soon as the focus leaves the control it should close up
anyway.

I've never used the OnCloseUp event (I provided it because it seemed
like the right thing to do :-) What sort of thing are you doing in
that event? (Just curious.)

When I add support for the Escape key I will also make a function
available that you can call directly rather than having to simulate a
keystroke (hopefully I can just make the existing Reset function
achieve this).

When I set this up I may be able to provide a flag that you can check
in the event handler to see if the CloseUp is happening due to a
reset.

What I will do is update the demo you sent as an example and send it
back to you (without the database since you wont need that back).


What is the urgency on this stuff?
I am hoping to go to bed shortly :-)
