I created a user control that consists of a combo box. You enter text in the combo box, press a key, a database table is queried, and the results are placed in the combo box. Some quirky things that occur.

1. The mouse pointer disappears.
The user can make it appear by clicking the mouse; however, this changes the dropdown status of the combo box which I set to TRUE after the search. I can make it reappear programmatically by putting in the code
form.cursor.current = cursors.default
after I populate the combo box. However the proper image of the cursor may not be correct, because default always makes it a pointer.


2. The control will not respond properly to SHIFT+TAB. I haven't figured out why or how to fix this yet but I am working on it.

3. If the combo box is populated with just one item and another search is implemented that returns more than one item, the drop down still only shows one item with the up and down arrows crunched together. I fixed this problem by programmatically changing the droppeddown to false, resetting the max number items in the drop down and then setting the drop down back to true.

Anyway, this is just a couple of things I have run into. Has anybody seen similar problems?
