SYMPTOMS
The ComboBox control can only be displayed with a three-dimensional (3-D) appearance, regardless of the value of the Appearance property.

This problem does not occur in Visual Basic, 16-bit, version 4.0.



RESOLUTION
There is no known workaround.



STATUS
This is a Windows 32-bit limitation.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a new Visual Basic Standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default.
 * 2) Add a ComboBox control, Combo1, of any style, to Form1.
 * 3) Set the Appearance property of Combo1 to 0 - Flat. In design and run mode, the appearance of the control remains 3-D.
