COMBO

This dialog element creates a combo box at the position and size specified. A combo box is a combination list box and edit box. To get data into and out of the edit box you use the DIALOG SET command and @DLGTEXT function. To get data into and out of the list box you must use the LIST command.

In addition to user-defined styles to change the default font style and color, the following styles may be used with this dialog element:

CLICK	The element will generate a <name>CLICK event whenever an item is chosen from the drop-down list.
EXIT	The element will generate a <name>EXIT event when the input focus moves away from the element.
LIST	This style causes the combo box to work like a LIST dialog element, so you cannot enter data into the edit box, only choose values from the drop down list.
SAVE <name> [VDS6]	The element will automatically save and restore the last value it contains in the default registry location, or in an INI file if one is being used. If <name> is not specified then the name of the dialog element will be used for the name of the registry or INI file value.
SORTED	This style specifies that items in the drop-down list will be maintained in ASCII order.
<cursor style>	The cursor will change to the named style when the pointer is over the dialog element. Valid styles are: NONE, ARROW, CROSS, IBEAM, SIZE, NESW, NS, NWSE, WE, UP, WAIT, DRAG, NODROP, HSPLIT, VSPLIT, MULTI, SQL, NO, HELP, HAND
