1. (Winlib)Combobox dropdown doesn't move with window
Remember this? I think I got it from you.......
ok = sendMessage( ComboId, CB_SHOWDROPDOWN, False, 0 )
tested in the w32HEvent for the window ComboId is in.

<<Below is a demo of a problem I've encountered with combo-boxes:
<<if I make the list drop-down, & then move the window, the drop-down list
<<remains where it was instead of moving with the window, though it is still
<<functional. Both combos in the demo exhibit the problem, the first is
<<"auto" drop-downed, the second has the same problem if the user clicks on
<<the drop-down arrow & then moves the window.
<<Is this a bug? What's the best way to fix this?

Judith,
Yeah, it's real possible you got that from me (BTW, I did use it in the
problem demo I posted), but I almost certainly got it from someone else
who's good at API programming. :)
Problem seems to be when to use it: onLostFocus for the combo doesn't do
it, although onPaint the window does. Problem with that is that if I could,
I'd rather make the combo *keep* whatever state it's in, dropped-down or
not, when the window might be moved (or minimized & then restored), and I
have more than one & don't know how to *test* for dropped-down or not
dropped-down.
