RE: Re[2]: [Dev-C++] combobox usage help

The last compulsory parameter of the COMBOBOX statement is the height of =
the combobox when you click the pulldown. You currently have it set to =
11, which means it'll only expand to one line when you pulldown.=20

I changed it to=20

COMBOBOX        IDC_OPTIONS_X, 15, 80, 100, 60

and it works. =09

No, I just typed examples how I use controls, without worrying about =

Added WS_VSCROLL, no change...

Couldn't make it... could you look at example and tell where I go =
