>>Or maybe I do have a new and original bug with combos? Here's the layout:

>>.rowsourcetype=6
>>.rowsource="alias.cdesc,ckey"
>>(cKey c(16), cDesc c(80))
>>.style=dropdown combo (don't tell me to go to dropdown list, it's a must, this is a quickfill combo)
>>.controlsource="otheralias.fkey" (c(16))
>>.columncount=2
>>.boundcolumn=2
>>.boundto=.f.

>>The problem is that the value I see is not the displayvalue (which I see in the debugger as being all 80 characters long), but rather the .text, which is 16 characters long. The visible value gets truncated to the length of the controlsource. The combo is sitting on a page of a pageframe (bI'm having this with a few other combos which are in a container, without pageframes, but also are not .style=dropdown combo).

>>Anyone? I mean, did anyone have this problem? If so, is there a solution? I want the visible value to be as long as it should be.

>Hi there - solved by setting the combo.style=drop down list in PEM window, setting it to dropdown combo in .gotfocus, and back to list in .lostfocus.

Thanks. Good to know the bug isn't gone, and that this workaround still works. Thanks to UT for keeping this for me :).
