CComboBox - Odd behavior

[Matthew A. Overlund]

Hi,
I am using a CComboBox in a dialog and for some reason clicking the
dropdown arrow has no affect. It depresses, and you see a double black line
just below the edit box portion, but the list never drops down. Debugging
during run-time has verified the presence of the data, and I can even select
the data using my scroll bar on intellimouse, but the dropdown refuses to
work. The box is set as a dropdown list. Can Anyone explain a remedy, and
perhaps the cause as well?

Thanks,
Matthew A. Overlund

Did you make the box big enough to hold the data?

Mattew,

In the dialog editor, click on the down arrow of the combo box. Then grab
the bottom middle of the combo box and pull it down to size it for the drop
down length of the combo box.
