Hi Larry,

Well, i dont have any problem getting the hWnd in some debug mode, problem 
is it has to be gotten programatically during the creation phase of the
ComboBox.  Nasty thing is Windows doesnt bother to post a WM_CREATE message
either!  This is looking like one of those nasty oversights on the part of
MS.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
