Unwanted invisibility of ComboBox

Hi!

I'm having problems with ComboBox when I place it inside a frame or picture box - it is invisible until I click on it.

I know I could use ImageCombo, but I find ComboBox much simpler to use for simple entries.

So - is there a property that should be set to avoid this invisibility of ComboBox?

I'm not sure how you're getting this kind of problem. There's no reason why that should happen. Can you post the project?

I will post as soon as I get to my own computer.

This is the simple project with the problem I described above.

Move the code from the Form_Activate to the Form_Load event.

This is a short-term solution. A lot of my projects require that combo box is re-fiiled each time a form is activated

OK. :)

Add a Me.Refresh after the loop in the Form_Activate event. Also, realize that you're not clearing the list so you'll simply be adding more items to the existing list. Add a Combo.Clear before the loop if you want to clear it before adding new items.

Thanks.
