10.4.1 (somehow I've missed 11.x until now)
 
After further experimentation, it only seems to happen when I call the CommandBars' RecalcLayout in the ControlNotify handler.
 
I have reproduced it in a simple project w/ a single Form containing a CommandBars control:
Private Sub Form_Load()
    With CommandBars1.Add("commandbar", xtpBarTop)
        ConfigureComboBox .Controls.Add(xtpControlComboBox, 1, "")
    End With
End Sub
Private Sub ConfigureComboBox(ByVal cb As CommandBarComboBox)
    With cb
        .DropDownListStyle = True
        .EditHint = "Some Hint"
        .Width = 200
    End With
End Sub
 
Private Sub CommandBars1_ControlNotify(ByVal Control As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBarControl, ByVal Code As Long, ByVal NotifyData As Variant, Handled As Variant)
    CommandBars1.RecalcLayout
End Sub

Hello,
 
Sorry, I can't reproduce it with current release. What Commandbars version do you have?

I have a CommandBarComboBox with these options:
.AutoComplete = True
.DropDownListStyle = True
.Style = xtpButtonCaption
.EditHint = "Some Hint"
When I click in the ComboBox, it selects the EditHint text.
If I insert or append characters -- instead of overwriting all of them -- it appears to keep the EditHint - e.g., .Text = "insertedSome Hint"
If I remove the inserted characters, the hint reverts to grey and .Text to ""
 
Is there an option or property to keep the .EditHint out of .Text unless the user really types it?
 
TIA,
bob
