Datagrid disappering on clicking while using popup button

Question

Hi,
I have a popup button, which on opening presents a datagrid
control. i can scroll through the datagrid.
Problem is that if i accidentally click on the datagrid, the
datagrid disappears back under the pop up button. Is there a way i
can have it stop doing this and allow me to click through items in
the datagrid without closing.
I wanted the datagrid to close when an item is double
clicked, so i had the double click property of the datagrid enabled
but the problem again was if i had a single click on the datagrid
it would close :(
any suggetions?
many thanks,
abhi

Manoj,
I have tried out a prototype for this one. It seems to work but involves an extra button that user has to click.
When the user selects the value from the combo box,instead of pushing the value to its destination, collect it in a cell say B2.
use a toggle button from the components. when u click on ON in toggle button it pushes a 1 to the destination specified say C1.
The destination cell where the combo box is feeding the selection has a formula like this E1=IF(C1=1,B2,D1). Note that D1 is a cell which populates blank value to ur combo box destination. it has the formula =""
with the above set up: the user selects the value in the combo box and then clicks on the toggle button only then the value from combo box is placed at the combo box destination(E1).
But the problem with the above set up is that the toggle button remains in the ON status once selected, pushing further selection in the destination with out the involvement of the toggle button.
To overcome this pull in a RESET button clicking which it resets the status of the toggle to OFF again. this is the extra button I was referring to.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
