This is me being the absolute bog standard definition of lazy :-)

Don't suppose anyone has any code for inserting text at the caret for
a TComboBox?

Sure, I can use SelStart & SelLength, but I never get string
manipulation right first time... (excuses)

use copy paste (clipbrd.astext), combobox1.paste or something along
those lines.

Elegant genius.   And you know what?  Embarrassingly enough, the text
I want to insert is *already* on the clipboard, and I never once
thought of pasting...

Many thanks :-)

It is not coincidence that Archimedes found his "eureka" while taking
a bath
