I have seen in other applications (Crystal for example) where a combo box can be configured to drop below your current window screen.

I have a floating window that I'm bringing up with a combo box toward the bottom of the screen and it is defined with 20 lines, but it will not extend past the bottom of the floating window.

What I want to know, is there any way to get this behavior that I see in other windows applications?

    For the window where you place your controls use the CONTROLS-UNCROPPED property. Your combo box will extend beyond the bottom of the windoe when CONTROLS-UNCROPPED is true.

    Thanks, that worked.
