Thanks, that's at least a start...  just commenting the 
WM_CTLCOLORLISTBOX by itself seems to fix the dropdown portion.  
Commenting WM_CTLCOLOREDIT gets rid of the black line under the text in 
the actual control.

I did read the following but wasn't sure what to change in Win32Lib:

A combo box in a version 3.x application uses the WM_CTLCOLORLISTBOX 
message to retrieve the text and background colors. In a version 4.0 or 
later application, a combo box uses the WM_CTLCOLOREDIT or 
WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message instead.

Derek, if this doesn't break anything else, can we eliminate these 
handlers?
