Hmm that is slightly disappointing. Another couple of subclasses and dozens of lines of code for this one feature... I filed the enhancement request as per your suggestion, thanks for your quick response.

This is the solution I've decided on as well. It's actually a button on a window that I want to trigger the search field to pop down, and I still want it to behave like a menu, i.e. clicking anywhere else on the screen dismisses the "menu", and the button get's the pushed in look. What's the best way to achieve this behavior? _______________________________________________
