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.
