- I've noticed a peculiar behaviour in Win 3.1 combo boxes. I have an
- application which has a dialog box as the main window, and it contains
- a combo box control. If I click the combo box open and try to move the
- main window, the drop-down part of the combo box won't move! It works
- still fine, stays above the main window etc, but looks really weird.
- The Windows applets seem to avoid this, because the combo boxes always
- close when you click on the window caption. Have I done something
- wrong or is this a Windows bug? Should I capture WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN and
- close the combo box before allowing the window to move? Seems stupid.

- I'm using Windows 3.1 and MSC 7.00.
