You have to make a new control. a combination of combox, listview, and other controls you needed. In our company we have that control... add a control that inherits the combobox (in dotnet) then we call a form (new form) were we add a litview control during runtime. so basically we will be going to do some code in the dropdown event in which when the user presses the dropdown button the form will comes out... ahhh... hard to explain... sorry!

I suggest that you do what jireh suggest but before you do, set the style of the combo box to 1 - simple combo. Then resized it's height to see if that is what you are looking for...

Good Luck
