Thanks, but I don't want to reduce the dropdownwidth. Suppose the
LookupCombo is placed on the far right of a dialog that itself buts
up against the right side of it's parent window. Then if the
dropdownwidth is even a little greater than that of the Lookupcombo,
it will be truncated. In my experience, most controls of this type
will check for this and move the dropdown window left to compensate.
