Hi Nick,

MOUSE CLICK AT works, though the listbox (or part of it) has to be "in sight" for OBJTOCLIENT to read it properly. Before, I had lbxOptions completely out of sight so it would not overlap the button when lbxOptions got the focus. To make it work I had to make sure that at least one pixel of lbxOptions is in sight, and that the MOUSE CLICK should be over that pixel.

Thanks!
