In the sample program combos.prg when I press the enter key the dialog is closed.

Pier,

Thats because the pushbutton is a default pushbutton and traps the Enter key

Peir,

>Thats because the pushbutton is a default pushbutton and traps the Enter key.

And this is standard Windows behavior. In the old DOS apps you could use Enter to select an item in a combo, but it is not advisable to do this with a windows app, since users will not be expecting it to work that way.
