To make the Combobox stay?

Like if you put a < in a text boz i want it to appeear when they put that and stay intill they click it.

Apologies, BoB, but I still don't understand what you mean.

Do you mean whenever someone types ">" in a textbox the combobox appears? Anything else, or anything?

Please explain a little more clearly.
