I have run across a strange problem. I have a user who is not able to select the first item in a combo (dropdown) box by clicking it with the mouse.

This apparently only occurs when it is running in a terminal server session using Provision Networks remote client. Provision Networks is like a Citrix alternative, offering seamless windows, etc.

This problem does not appear for users with the program installed locally, or for users that connect to the program via regular remote desktop/terminal server.

Something in the Provision protocol, I guess, interferes with clicking the first item in a list. Also, the user can use the arrow key to go down to the first item, and then hit 'enter' and it will select it. But clicking with the mouse won't.

Any ideas?

Maybe make the first item blank?


List add,Combo1,
List add,Combo1,First item in the list

Thanks - that may help in a couple of places, but overall I don't believe that will be a solution. It allows the user to select a blank item, and then I would have to rewrite other parts of the program to deal with that. And it is a very large program -

You could test for it in the ComboClick event.

:Combo1CLICK
If @null(@dlgtext(Combo1))
warn Please select a non-null item!
goto evloop
end
