Is it possible to set text to the "label" portion of a Combobox that uses the CBS_DROPDOWNLIST Window style? I am able to set the text if I use the CBS_DROPDOWN style but I get other undesirable results (background color issues) with the combobox when I do that. When the combobox has focus, I am changing the background color, but it seems that using CBS_DROPDOWN causes the background color to change when the control doesn't have focus.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all!

I think I have found the simpliest solution to this problem.....
Create another hidden Combobox with the CBS_DROPDOWN style,
Hide original combobox with CBS_DROPDOWNLIST,
Show new hidden control until finished with process and then hide this Combo and show original.
Other than the background color issues of the one with the CBS_DROPDOWN style, this method seems to work acceptable.
Thanks,
Gary
