Does anyone know of a way (using win32s perhaps) to eliminate that focus
rectangle over the selected option you see in a normal VB combo box?

Yeah, I have to use the list (allowing users to enter values wouldn't work
well). And, when you load the combo on the form a little focus rectangle
appears around the selected value. It's a little annoying - esp since I
can't control the color of it.

Are you using a ComboBox with Style=2 Dropdown List
or are you using a ListBox with Style=1 Standard?
I have used the following in a ListBox (in the _Click procedure) to get rid
of the standard blue box highlight AND the focus rectangle.
List1.Enabled = False
List1.ListIndex = -1
List1.Enabled = True
Maybe the above, or some combination of the above, would work with the
ComboBox?

I am using a combo box with style =2 Dropdown List.
If you want to mimic this, just create a project with a combo box, put in
4-5 values into it on load and select the first one after running the
project. You will see a small rectangular box around the value selected. I
would like to find a way to remove that.

I could not figure out a way to remove the rectangular box around the last
selected value in the pulldown menu without
Combo1.Clear
and then rebuilding the menu each time a combobox value is selected.
As for the highlight around the item displayed in the ComboBox before the
menu is pulled down you just have to set the focus to another control. You
can create a command button or another ComboBox and hide it behind your
existing control. Whenever the Combo1 receives a Change or Click event
just run this line of code:
Combo2.SetFocus
or
Command1.SetFoc us
and the hidden ComboBox receives the focus and the highlighting disappears
from Combo1.
Hope this helps.

While certainly a creative option, the problem with that solution is you
lose the ability to scroll through the options with the mouse wheel because
of the lost focus. I was hoping that there might be some sort of Win32 call
that controls the display of that focus rectangle, but it appears that may
not be the case.

Hi everyone,
Please let there be someone out there who can help.
I have two BOUND combo boxes on a continuous form, the second being
dependent on the first. I have no problem getting the second combo to
change depending on what values the user selects in the first box, it's
just that every time the user changes the first combobox, the second
combobox FOR EVERY RECORD goes blank.

Hi,
I'm using MS Access 2002. I have a form with a combo box built from a

How do you use VBA to programmatically change which row in the combo

I looked at the forum and the answers aren't very clear. Of course the

The second and third question I have is on Combo box. Can a combo box be used to access several documents on the network drive (U) or any other location? For example from the drop down list there are 3 options.
Weekly figures
Monthly figures
Quarter figures
Each one of these would open the related word or excel document.
