Hi Tracy,
sorry for the delay. I tried to stay away from the computer this weekend. My rowsourcetype = 1-value, style = 2-dropdown list

Frank, I'm tinkering with a dropdown for something completely different than this post, and what do I see? That picture you posted of the odd caret on the left of the dropdown and no text included.
By chance, is your dropdown being populated with a RowSourceType = 9 (popup) ???

Thanks for checking this out Tracy. It's a subclass from the framework I use (Visual MaxFrame Professional).
I'll experiment some more today and see if I can tie it down.

I took another look at that. And I think that might be an odd scrollbar happening because the height of the dropdown got screwed up. That is very odd.
Is that a standard combobox or one that has some customization?

Thanks, I don't think that's the case here but I'll double check. I hardly ever use combo boxes, not sure why I did in this case. Maybe I'll just go back to my normal way and replace this combo.

I see that on a ComboBox on a form when the underlying controlsource is a value that is not in the RowSource. I think it might be the reason in the grid as well.
HTH, Tracy

Doh! forgot about the pictures not coming in the list. I've put it on imgur: https://imgur.com/a/eYWgr1b
It's the only control in the column so sparse shouldn't be a problem.
Not sure where/when to try calling thisform.cls()
The problem seems to happen if I click anywhere in the combo, then move
the mouse to try to select an item in the list (but don't actually click on anything).
Frank.

Pictures don't come through the list.
I have learned if one drags the scrollbar of a listbox below or above
the
listbox, then select an item, the Item is not changed.
I don't think that's what you are talking about.
Does it have to do with the Column Sparse property?
Does calling THISFORM.CLS() clear any odd drawing over the grid?
The system I maintain has a ComboBox configured as a DropDown in a
grid.
I've not heard any complaints about it.
HTH, Tracy

It's just come to my attention that in a certain instance, if I have
a
drop down list in a grid and I click on it then move the mouse as if
I
am going to select one of the options, the display changes to this:
Anyone seen this before and got a way to fix it?
Sometimes it fixes itself other times it's a real pain to get rid of
and
display the list properly.
