The FM20.DLL combo box allows multiple "columns" of data to be used in a
drop-down box. We do not want to use FM20.DLL because of redistribution
issues (plus it's got problems when used with VB); I was wondering if anyone
was aware of any other combo box that serves the same functionality? (The
Common Controls one only appears to allow one datum per item.)

Thanks!

You can "roll your own" with....

Substituting a ListView for a Combo's Dropdown List
http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/index.html?code/subclass/combolistview.htm

get a freeware control....

For a free multicolumn combobox:
http://www.home.zonnet.nl/PatrickO/Html/VisualBasicControls.htm

or... best of all <g>, check mine out. No data binding but you can pass a
recordset to it
and it'll setup the columns (etc). Basic syntax is the same as a regular
VB combobox.

ComboPlusCTL
http://www.vbsight.com/MultiColumn.htm

There are also at least a couple to be found @ componentsource.com
