VB comboboxes doesn't add the entry automatically.

As for your question, the only thing I can think of is to use the control itself.

The following code put the control on my form. Hope it helps.

<OBJECT classid=clsid:8BD21D30-EC42-11CE-9E0D-00AA006002F3 id=MdcCombo1 
style=&quot;HEIGHT: 24px; WIDTH: 228px&quot; VIEWASTEXT>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;VariousPropertyBits&quot; VALUE=&quot;746604571&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;BackColor&quot; VALUE=&quot;2147483653&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;ForeColor&quot; VALUE=&quot;2147483656&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;MaxLength&quot; VALUE=&quot;0&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;BorderStyle&quot; VALUE=&quot;0&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;ScrollBars&quot; VALUE=&quot;0&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;DisplayStyle&quot; VALUE=&quot;3&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;MousePointer&quot; VALUE=&quot;0&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;Size&quot; VALUE=&quot;6032;635&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;PasswordChar&quot; VALUE=&quot;0&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;ListWidth&quot; VALUE=&quot;0&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;BoundColumn&quot; VALUE=&quot;1&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;TextColumn&quot; VALUE=&quot;65535&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;ColumnCount&quot; VALUE=&quot;1&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;ListRows&quot; VALUE=&quot;8&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;cColumnInfo&quot; VALUE=&quot;0&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;MatchEntry&quot; VALUE=&quot;1&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;ListStyle&quot; VALUE=&quot;0&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;ShowDropButtonWhen&quot; VALUE=&quot;2&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;ShowListWhen&quot; VALUE=&quot;1&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;DropButtonStyle&quot; VALUE=&quot;1&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;MultiSelect&quot; VALUE=&quot;0&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;Value&quot; VALUE=&quot;&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;Caption&quot; VALUE=&quot;&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;PicturePosition&quot; VALUE=&quot;458753&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;BorderColor&quot; VALUE=&quot;2147483654&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;SpecialEffect&quot; VALUE=&quot;2&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;Accelerator&quot; VALUE=&quot;0&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;GroupName&quot; VALUE=&quot;&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;FontName&quot; VALUE=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;FontEffects&quot; VALUE=&quot;1073741824&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;FontHeight&quot; VALUE=&quot;240&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;FontOffset&quot; VALUE=&quot;0&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;FontCharSet&quot; VALUE=&quot;0&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;FontPitchAndFamily&quot; VALUE=&quot;2&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;ParagraphAlign&quot; VALUE=&quot;1&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;FontWeight&quot; VALUE=&quot;400&quot;>
</OBJECT>

This was generated automatically, so don't ask me what they all mean. I just know that the params are all the properties. _________________
