Hello James,

Thank you for responding to my post.

You have solved half of the problem!

The trailing semi colon was the reason the combo box was not being 
filled with it's values.

I still have a problem in that when the drop down list containing the 
combo box's items are displayed, the list does not display in the 
correct position.  The list displays in an offsetted way to the right 
and down approx 100-200 pixels.  This is not the effect I am looking 
for.  I of course want the list to drop down underneath the control and 
remain the same size in width.

If the applet is launched as a viewer (via F9) the drop down list 
remains directly under the control but extends out to the left and right 
of the applet's canvas and as a result it's width gets truncated.

I am coming primarily from a Delphi background and have never seen this 
type of behavior. (unless of course you are using the TCombobox as an 
OwnerDraw type and are drawing the control's canvas incorrectly)

Do you think it is related to the format of the underlying layout manager?


Any more help would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks

Reid
