I don't know why this is happening but my combobox.visible=false is still showing the combobox. What can be causing this behaviour. The combobox does not react to the click, it's behaving as if I set .enabled=false rather than the visible property.
It works. I found the culprit it was a 3rd party function creating borders on all objects and that gave the impression of the combobox not responding to visible property.. I think. However the panel approach works
