I have a combobox as part of a toolbar where I select a text background highlight color.
Once the combobox receives focus, the RTB (richtextbox) loses the
selected text highlight (text is there just highlight reverts to background color).
After combobox selection the test selected previously is highlighted with the correct color
My guess is the only workaround for this is using a ActiveX because of the need to be in a separate thread.

Can someone confirm and Any other workaround?
