Hi all. I doing "sendmessage(DBLUCombo1.handle,CB_SHOWDROPDOWN,Integer (True), 0);" to make a combobox drop down progmatically. BUT when the list drops down, the cursor disappears ! if the "Invisible" cursor is over the list that has dropped down, you can see teh selection highlight move. When I click the mouse it comes back, and the list goes away. Its trule weired. anyone seen this problem before ?
