In my search to try and solve my curent problem with the combobox pane being visible and having to put focus back onto another control how could I within a combo.connect(SEL_FOCUSIN) call get a SEL-CLICK event to fire? my thinking here is that currently i need TWO clicks 1 for the closing of the dropped down pane and another to click on the dialogbox. this so the other control (namely a textbox) gets the focus back. cheers, dave. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
