And here you are calling menu what is usually called a combobox, right ? Called this way because it's an aggregation of a text box and a list. Try to run with -debugmsg +combo and post the console output when you click on the combobox arrow. Comboboxes not dropping can be caused roughly by 2 reasons : - the app can't find any data to add to the list : look at the trace before if you can find CB_ADDSTRING messages. - the list height is not set because of some weirdness in the combo behaviour - comboboxes are difficult to emulate.
