Help! Highlighting text in combo box

[sagain2k]

I created a Combo Box with a drop-down list that works fine at this point, but I would like the text in the box to appear highlighted, so that the user can just start typing to replace that value if desired.

As it is now, the first entry appears non-highlighted, and you have to double-click it to highlight it. You can press the Down Arrow to scroll through the choices, and then either press Enter, Tab, or Down Arrow to go to the next field in the form.

The initialization code for the form is below. What code will cause the text to be highlighted? Thanks!!

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

CboxCategory.AddItem "CCCA"
CboxCategory.AddItem "Architect"
CboxCategory.AddItem "Contractor"
CboxCategory.SetFocus
CboxCategory.ListIndex = 0

End Sub

Change the Style property to fmStyleDropDownList (in the VBE).

I tried changing the Style as you suggested...still have the same result: it shows the first entry in the list but not highlighted. I can live with having to double-click it first, but it would be nice to have it already highlighted when the form first comes up. Thanks for the response!

It worked for me.

With Style fmStyleDropDownCombo it is white with an insertion character at the end. With Style fmStyleDropDownList it is highlighted blue.
