A little bit buggy

After a ~long search I've found that some users adopted the show and hide approach and some use some neat tricks using C#.

That's script looks very nice. But it is not good for my needs.

I want to display all combo items constantly on the list without using the _GUICtrlListView_SubItemHitTest in the notification function.

Another issue with the script why the callback functions "_ListViewHandler" is needs to?

Authenticity, thanks for the reply!

There is a way but it will flicker because all of the window moving, also if you scroll down or up you'll see the combo-box on the top of the header which will look bad. The _ListViewHandler() is to react to the events the list-view will post because you're not using the AutoIt's custom list-view but the natural way a list-view works.
