I guess you could create a combo box that *almost* looked like the real thing, but had a few extra features but that most likely would defeat the purpose. I ran into problems when trying to make a combobox that did name completion (like IE4) but the Fox Combo box didn't have the necessary features and I quickly hit the mouse capture wall when trying to make my own.

>>>If you want to have standard combo then you use native VFP combo and that's it. If you want something fancy, then you use container. BTW, is it difficult to intercept form.click?
>>>I feel that we are going into some area of professional respect. I understand that you try to show me limits of VFP, but note that I'm not going to show you limits of your favourite language, just because I'm not expert in that area. I believe that this approach should be mutually applied.

>>No disrespect intended. (I don't want to sound like a cocky punk who has been up all night programming Fox and is high on caffeine ~~) I just know that I tried to make a combo box in VFP and wasn't able to finish it to my liking. Thats all... I'll try to be more sensitive in the future.

>No probems. I used to answer 'combo' questions here on UT, and found that in many cases combobox is better than expected :)
