[BoB]

How do i get where the mouse is in the text box like the x and y so i can get a combo box apper to it like wher the mouse is in the text box this is what i have and its not working

If Text1.Text = "<" Then
Combo1.Visible = True
combo1.top = text1.text = seltext
End If

some one help me

Try this:

Private Sub Text1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Debug.Print X & ", " & Y
Combo1.Move X + 800, Y + 800
End Sub

To make the Combobox stay?

Like if you put a < in a text boz i want it to appeear when they put that and stay intill they click it.

Apologies, BoB, but I still don't understand what you mean.

Do you mean whenever someone types ">" in a textbox the combobox appears? Anything else, or anything?

Please explain a little more clearly.
