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.
