    Hi,

    I'm unable to use my mouse to select any item from a combobox control placed on a modeless dialog box. I can very well do it with the keyboard but there still is a problem.
    When I've dropped the combobox list down, I cannot move my main window (i.e. the modeless dialog).

    Here is my code:
    Code:
    #include <afxwin.h>
    #include <tchar.h>
    #include "resource.h"
    
    BOOL CALLBACK
    DlgProc(
        HWND hwnd,
        UINT message,
        WPARAM wParam,
        LPARAM lParam
        );
    
    int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                        PSTR szCmdLine, int iCmdShow)
    {
        MSG msg;
        HWND hDlg;
    
        hDlg = CreateDialog(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1), NULL, DlgProc);
        if (NULL == hDlg)
        {
            MessageBox(NULL, _T("CreateDialog...FAILED."), 0, 0);
            return 0;
        }
    
        ShowWindow(hDlg, SW_SHOW);
        UpdateWindow(hDlg);
    
        while (GetMessage (&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
        {
            IsDialogMessage(hDlg, &msg);
        }
    
        return msg.wParam;
    }
    
    BOOL CALLBACK
    DlgProc(
        HWND hwnd,
        UINT message,
        WPARAM wParam,
        LPARAM lParam
        )
    {
        HWND hDlgCtrl;
        CComboBox cmbOb;
    
        switch (message)
        {
        case WM_INITDIALOG:
            hDlgCtrl = GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_CMB_TEST);
            cmbOb.Attach(hDlgCtrl);
    
            cmbOb.AddString("str 1");
            cmbOb.AddString("str 2");
            cmbOb.SetCurSel(0);
            cmbOb.Detach();
            return TRUE;
    
        case WM_CLOSE:
            DestroyWindow(hwnd);
            return TRUE;
    
        case WM_DESTROY:
            PostQuitMessage(0);
            return TRUE;
        }
    
        return FALSE;
    }
