hi!
I use API function SetParent:

SetParent combobox1.hWnd, form1.hWnd

after that combobox appears simple message window... ((

Works fine for me...Try this example: Add the following code to a Form with a ComboBox (Combo1), PictureBox (Picture1), and a CommandButton (Command1).

Make sure Combo1 is drawn inside the PictureBox (so it's parent is Picture1).


Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()
SetParent Combo1.hWnd, Form1.hWnd
End Sub

Maybe it's some of your other code that causes conflicts with this code?
