Will look at that tonight, in the meantime I used an example I found to try 
and build a component. What I ultimately want to do is to replicate my vb 
popup phrasewheel (textbox with listbox attatched) which auto-suggests 
completions, which I used extensively through my work in the mid 1990's, and 
which Karsten and Ian Haywood developed extensively in gnuMed over the last 
couple of years.

I enclose some code as a stuttering example with a question.

When I put this component in another project, and put it on a form which can 
resize, the component misbehaves badly. IE unlike a combo box where the list 
drops down, appearing over the top of any controls underneath it,  this one, 
when stacked in a vertical row of similar components, on say a vertical box, 
behaves by pushing the otherse below it out of the way.

Wonder if someone could run it and comment. + head me in the right direction 
re the basic design.

Thanks

Ricard
