Combobox Display

[StormbringerV]

I have a form with some tabs used for specific entries (sstab). On each of the tabs I have a combox allowing them to choose a specific code whose description is then loaded from a table. When the form itself is loaded and the current Data retrieved, the info is displayed correctly on the initial tab. BUT, once you choose another tab and then return to the original tab, the combobox information is.. sortof highlighted out. The information is there, correct, and displayable (I sat a textbox beside it displaying the same info and it displays correctly). Clicking on the combobox displays the correct information in the list. Its almost as though the tab(s) themselves are having trouble repainting the combobox info.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Dave

Dave I noticed that you also use the Flex Grid control. For a more reliable Combo Box, i use the flex grid and simply modify it's use as a combo box. This may be a bit too much coding for you though.

As for just fixing the combo box display, you could find out whether it has actually lost the ListIndex pointer. i.e. It doesn't know where on the combo box it should be. If it has lost the pointer you could save the pointers in global variables and everytime the change tab is executed, reset the ListIndex to the global variable value.

If it doesn't loose the index a refresh might jsut do it. Craig, mailto:sander@cogeco.ca

Thanks again Craig. I believe the pointer is OK - when I click the combobox it's sitting on the correct Item in the pulldown. I hadn't thought about the refresh.. duh.

Thanks again buddy.
