Re: [Win32Lib] ComboBox drop-down doesn't move with window

Judith,

Well, not exactly:  your clever & simple method works only if the user
*selects* an item in the scrolled down list (& then re-opens the list), in
which case the selected item will be the topmost item on move the window,
even if it wasn't the topmost previously; but if you scroll the 2nd combo
list down, but do *not* select anything new in it, I think that on moving
the window I should be able to get the new *scrolled* position to re-show.

So what I don't get is why the "CB_GETTOPINDEX" doesn't work, because it's
supposed to get  the index of the topmost *showing* item on the list.

Oh, and taking a hint from you, I did also move the test into w32HEvent,
using your code in IDE as an example :)
