Thanks for the replies.
The ListView.Ignore is set and works as expected, just unable to line up completly with the
ComboBox.
Starting to look at Christof Thalhofer's Cobmobox and noticed am actual Window is being
created within the parent Form then the Screen.X and Screen.Y are used to position the
Window. I'll try downloading this and put the ComboBox into a couple of layered containers to see how it works.
Are the $Variables or $ in general anything special? Seems to be instance var and ifStatic class var. I've been using m_Var ('m_' for member/instance) variables. I've
also seen f_ for field var.
I'm not exactly sure how to use the mailing list correctly. I was able to submit a question (barely) but never know if it will wind up in an un-related thread, same thing when replying.
Thanks.

Perhaps I haven't understood your issue, but why not set the
ListView.Ignore = True and the parent to the current form?

Indeed. Actually I don't remember testing the parser with weird data. Could
you send me the "hexdump -C" of the patch file you're using? Maybe it got
screwed up somewhere between my mail client and your hard disk? It works
here, as the attached screenshot shows.
In any case, something I need to investigate when I have time.
