Hi Helen

(Summary Question:
Where does an IB_LookupCombo get its color settings from when it is inside
an IB_Grid, IgnoreColorScheme is True for the grid and LC, ParentColor and
ParentFont are False for both grid and LC, and the LC is selected but not
showing its list?)

I wish it were that simple.

I can set the LC Font color to clYellow and the LC color to clBlue. At
design time the colors I select persist. At run time the colors scheme for
the LC appears black and the text in the LC appears hidden or washed out. I
have not found out how to alter the lc seleced color scheme. (I do not have
source)

The LC dropdown list takes its background color from the Grid's
OrderingColor (by observation). Where does the LC get its selected Text and
Background color from? I do not have a Windows setting problem because, on
the same pc, the Sample - Contacts app gives readable colors.

Any insights?

Regards
