[Wine] combo box does not look the same in wine ( vs Windows )
I have an application, when someone is entering something into the combo box, under windows, it is shown as pulled down, and the entries are dynamically updated into the pull down list. However when running in wine, the combo is not shown as pulled down. But if I manually click on the pull down button, the list is shown updated correctly, corresponding to what I have entered into the combobox. Is there anything I can do about it to fix this problem ? Will dll override work, if yes, how to go about do this ?

[Wine] Re: combo box does not look the same in wine ( vs Windows )
Using native comctl32 from XP or so should work and fix the issue. Probably the Wine bug is that Windows programs can override the behavior of the combobox (a lot of apps do this) and since our implementation is not 100% the same as Microsoft their implementation you can encounter issues like this. We try to fix them though, so file a bug report. Mention the Wine version you are using and the app (hopefully there is a demo which shows the problem).
