    It is a follow-up to our previous message.
    By design, when a sub-menu is closed by moving focus to another control/application or when some updating notification is sent to it, its ItemLinks handles are destroyed. We have implemented a lot of code in our CX controls library and ExpressBars Suite to correctly handle such situations.
    For example, if the TcxBlobEdit component is placed to the TdxBarControlContainerItem, which is placed to a sub-menu, and a user opens BlobEdit's dialog, focus is moved outside this control. We've added some code that prevents destroying this editor, to process loading data in it.
    However, we can't implement it for third-party components, because it requires implementing our routines at their level, but it is impossible due to huge variety and sources inaccessibility of these controls.
    Hopefully, my explanation is clear.
