Well, for one thing, you have `-readonly=1,` in there twice. Mr. Pedantic Code Guy (me) twitches at this aesthetics of this. All seriousness aside, I don't see why that would be the reason, but remove the second readonly line and see if it works. Afterall, what could possibly go wrong? -- tbone1, YAPS (Yet Another Perl Schlub) And remember, if he succeeds, so what. - Chick McGee	[reply] [d/l]

I removed it, but still, i can type in the combo box. This is really odd.	[reply]

So I reviewed the Win32::GUI doc's. It seems like it should disable the combo box. I wonder if this is a bug.	[reply]

There is no combobox in perl/tk, so what are you talking about?	[reply]

Anonymous monks post highlights the fact you fail to mention which module you are using in your question. In this thread you don't mention Win32::GUI until asked, don't expect people to trail back through your previous questions to try and understand what you are talking about. The easier you make it for people to help you, the more likely it is that they will.
