When I open the form the first time (the form has a pageframe and a container on it) and open the combos for the controls that are in the bottom of the form, the drop-down portion is shown not close to the control, but somewhere... The next time I open that combo the drop-down portion is shown correctly at the top on the combo.

>Sorry, I already moved the code into Init method of the combo, there it works fine. In the Drop-down it produced that weird effect. I'm having another problem that I posted a message about few seconds ago. If my combo has just few items to show, the combo's scrollbar doesn't appear and the magical number 39 doesn't work.
