I have created a form to locate records in VFP 5, with several drop down
lists for the user to construct a filter. The form works very good, but if
a timer is active somewhere in the application, when I try to make a choice
on any of the drop down lists, the mouse click "goes through" and clicks
underneath, closing the drop down list.
Does any body know why this is happening.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Pablo.

Kind of hard to say at this point. What code is invoked when the TimerQuote:>>Does any body know why this is happening.

There are known problems with timers and comboboxes. Check out Q161184
on http://www.microsoft.com/kb/. Also, I've heard that disabling the
time on entry to the combo and enabling on exit helps.

1. Combo boxes don't accept mouse clicks
Hi,
I have an A2K ADP connected to SQL Server 2000. One of my forms
includes combo boxes inside a tab control. Recently I began experiencing
the behavior described in this article:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=combo+box+accept+second+click&hl=en...
=UTF-8&selm=m62p8.5119%24052.1669711941%40newssvr11.news.prodigy.com&rnum=5
where comboboxes don't accept the value chosen by the mouse on the first
click, but close themselves (and sometimes set the focus to another
control). After two or more clicks the comboboxes ultimately accept the
click. When a combo box is placed outside of the tab control, the problem
goes away. Furthermore, this problem is new - I have been working on this
ADP for several weeks now, and it only began a few days ago. Removing and
re-importing the form does not solve the problem. Has anyone else had this
problem? If worst comes to worst I can just put the combos above the tab
and show and hide them, but this seems like and ugly hack.
Because the post mentioned above had no followup, I don't know if or how the
problem was solved. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Eric
