Hello Mirek,

Thanks for looking at the Popup code.
I had indeed also noticed the difference of my Popup method with the older one, in the visibility of the scrollbars. I did not find this disturbing, though; especially not, when compared to the flashing. But if it can be avoided, then it is indeed even better. I assume that is what the

        AutoHideSb(false);
        HideSb(true);
...
        HideSb(false);
        AutoHideSb(true);

code is meant for.
But I do not understand why there still is this separate popup control (albeit of a new specialized struct type). Because, as I can see it, this still introduces more flicker than the method I used without it. To let you be the judge of it, I include two executables; the 2686 version is with your new code (literally, as taken from the repository), the 2678 version is with the old popup code, modified as I suggested. I use Vista and I can still see a difference in the smoothness of the popup of the colorpopup in the 'Property Grid' tab.
Is this separate control intended to fix your remark:

Also, the effect in DropList is not equivalent to what is standard in other platforms - it should slide in, not be gradually revealed.

?

Best regards,

PS: There is a little difference in look of the DropList compared to the native combobox (in list only/non-editable mode) in Windows. In Windows; the 'button' has a 'pressed' look as long as the list is visible; even when the mouse is not even hovering over the button anymore.
