I am taking suggestions for control behaviors that you have found useful and have programmed controls to perform in the past. For example I program the back color of combos, lists and text boxes to change to a given color as they get the focus, and back to their original color as they lose the focus. This helps to avoid the "where's the cursor" questions. Another example, I program the double-click of a combo to open a form to allow editing the data in the table that the combo pulls from. In addition, if a combo is programmed to perform this behavior, I dynamically set its label's back color to a specific color. this is a visual cue that "this combo has the dbl-click behavior activated" What kinds of things do you have your controls do?
