>ShowCursor API is used to hide and show mouse pointer. When the pointer is hidden the mouse is still active. The code is kind of "fast and dirty", still it may help :)

Thank you for the reply,

I tried your code but the problem still exists even though the mouse cursor is hidden if you happen to have the mouse cursor in the list. In addition, this brings in another problem which is when you move the mouse to do things on other form and menus within the app the mouse is still hidden.

It would be great if there is/were a way to hide as well as disable the mouse when a combox drops down, then enable and display it when combox list clapses.
