Johan was able to help me by including the options for WS_VSCROLL.  For 
some reason, using the name of the constant fails utterly, while using it 
by number works fine.

My combobox drops down now.  One little annoyance left:

When it drops down, the first five items in the list (i.e. all that are 
displayed initially) have a sort of grey background to them behind the 
text.  Once I scroll down, any options below that do not have the grey 
background and are correctly shown with black text on white background.  
When I scroll back up, the first five options are now shown normally.

While the program is usable, this is disconcerting to the end user.  Any 
suggestions?  I'm looking into using TheGUILoft, perhaps, just to see if 
it might help.  Johan showed me the value of a few of the constants, but 
I'm not sure where I would get those -- do those come from Visual C++ header 
files?  Could somebody possibly give me an idea where to find those 
values?  I'm wondering if this is related to WS_VISIBLE or WS_NOTIFY, 
which I see people using, but am not sure the reason for them :)  They may 
not be translating properly.

>From what I have seen, the primary problem I'm running into is a lack of 
documentation.  The size of the documentation project is, of course, 
massive.  Still, it's sometimes hard to figure out what options are 
available, and what options apply to what classes, and what they do.  As 
somebody who hasn't done GUI programming under Windows before, some of the 
options and methods aren't intuitively obvious.  More than anything, 
having better documentation of the library would make this package go from 
being great to superb!  Unless somebody knows where there is some, and I 
just haven't found it.  I've been using Aldo's documentation off his web 
site, which is great as far as it goes, but isn't finished yet from the 
look of things.  

Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks!
