_GuiCtrlComboBoxEx_CreateCombo

[electrico]

Dunno why but combo variants are not selectable. Exausted searching forum, please help if you can. Thank you.

Dont look at includes, as it is only small part of project.

A real brainer I ran into a while ago . The control height defined in _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_Create() refers to the height of the drop-down! The actual height of the control is automatically set by the respective font size used (). So use something like this:

$hcombo = _GUICtrlComboBoxEx_Create($mygui, "", 605, 570, 65, 243, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
