Hi Glenn and Rob

Thank you - you've both very helpful, and I now have a combobox which
responds
appropriately to user input.

I do still have one question, though. Is there a list somewhere of the
events a type of control responds to by default? The MSDN library lists
events which can be trapped with hook, but I don't know what the lists
of events in the Win32::GUI manual are derived from.
