I've got a related problem with combos and grids. If you color the grid rows with DYNAMICFORECOLOR and DYNAMICBACKCOLOR in the Grid Refresh event, it seems to prevent the combo box from displaying selected text (white on blue-green) or whatever is set in the SELECTED color options. Yes, I've included a DODEFAULT(). Doesn't work. But if I take out the DynamicForeColor and DynamicBackColor, the selection is visible. Any clues?
