I do not use comboboxes very often, because they are not the most user-friendly controls. If you need to use them, try to use them only for very short lists, like payment type, invoice status etc. If the list is very short (less than 5 items), then you can even use an optiongroup.

I prefer pick lists (like a search list) which is a modal form with a listbox or a grid on it and sometimes a search field at the top where the user can filter the list.

I would be annoyed to open a combobox with a list of all countries for instance.
