Derek,

Oh.  Nuts.

Well, then, is there a way to make a Combo box with *user specified* styles,
so I can make one that has a static label *like* the "SimpleCombo" that
Win32Lib creates, but *without* having CBS_SIMPLE style?  So it would have
only WS_CHILD, WS_VISIBLE, CBS_DROPDOWNLIST (for making it have the static
label instead of edit box), CBS_HASSTRINGS, and WS_TABSTOP ?  (in other
words, all the styles the "SimpleCombo" has, *except* CBS_SIMPLE )
