     Hi,Martin:
          I create a new project built on Pc today,and now I can find  Type  In

    Appearance
    and finish the setting.It's Ok.

          My prior project is built on Pocket Pc and I find  in PPC neither lists nor combo
    boxes are owner-drawable. 
     
         That's the problem and  I'll try other way to solve  it.

         Thank you!

    You mean in the dialog editor

    Than open the property window for the combo box (Alt+Enter).

    Look into the section Appearance , the list of properties is sorted, look for Type, there it is: Simple, Drop List, Dropdown

    If you are talking about the basic styles you need to give the style while creating the combo box, ModifyStyle can not change the basic style of a combo box. In this case you have to destroy the old one, and create a new one.

    Thank u!

     My problem is that ,in my IDE(vs2005bate2), I can't find  Type in section Appearance.

     Which IDE are you using,vs2005bate2 or some else

    No. Just my current VS.NET 2003. I can't access my laptop with my 2005 Beta2 installation.

    I remembered that it was the same. I will recheck this.
