>VFP7Watch: This one just caught me... Users started to complain about an app that I had recently converted to VFP7. Combo boxes has become skitish. I was able to reproduce the behaviour. In the debugger I confirmed that the setting of _DBLClick was correct but it wasn't altering the combo box incremental search rate. Frustrated, I _finally_ built a control with a textbox and list box that allows incremental search with back spacing. After work, while at the laundromat, I was browing through "What's New With VFP7". _Incseek has replaced _DBLClick for incremental searches in combo boxes. Sigh.

While this is a problem for backward compatible, I found the side-effects with the previous approach very problematic: when I changed one option, the other changed too - and the two are completely unrelated.
