Combo Boxes and Bottom Edge of Screen Issues

[stephenculver]

I have been implementing landscape mode on my forms and noticed
something disturbing about certain combo boxes on some of them. When I
have a combo box near the edge of the screen, some of them would cause
the landscape mode to activate the scroll bar functionaity to show more
area, but then instantly the scroll bar would disapear and so would the
window that pops up for the combo box.

After looking over my forms and trying several things, I noticed that
some combo boxes did not do this while others did. It turns out that
those INSIDE of a Panel worked fine, while those just sitting on the
form caused this problem. The simple solution was to put the obejcts
all in panels (in this case a panel the same size as the button to make
it look like it is on the form.

I looked around and did not see any other posts for this, so if you
have had this same problem, I hope this helps.
