Re: Problem with VB6 ComboBox with style "DropDown List"
Waooo really weird.
To have the same effect, rectangle focus on some controls, I had to use this Krool code.

Re: Problem with VB6 ComboBox with style "DropDown List"
Does anyone have any idea how I can trace events to understand the differences in app behavior?
An app?

Re: Problem with VB6 ComboBox with style "DropDown List"
I'm not really sure what you are talking about here but when you set a combo to drop down list nothing will be displayed in the text box portion unless you set the index to one of the items in the list. If you click on the drop down and select an item from the list that should be displayed.
If you are just talking about no text in the field at launch and you have not added code to set the listindex on that control then that is normal behavior

"DropDown List" style is completely supplanted by "DropDown Combo" style so I *never* actually use it in any of my applications as it first looks ugly and second does not allow quick find on list items, at least not intuitively for the end-users.

"DropDown List" with Sorted = True and make .AddItem with specify Index to circumvent "sorting". Result is then that you have a combo where you can type multiple chars for quick search.

Sure, but I've seen no end-user which uses this feature (I personally use it all the time) while in "DropDown Combo" style with sorted list all the end-users can "guess" that you can actually type in the textbox part.
