ComboBox Auto Open

Hi all:

I have been searching for a while and not able to find anything useful on how to approach this issue.

I have a ComboBox on a form and what I am looking to do is when the ComboBox has the cursor focus, it automatically opens up and displays the options. Just as if you clicked on the ComboBox. I was considering PerformClick but the only problem is, I believe PerformClick is only available for the Button and no other control.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

If I am understanding you correctly the following code should do what you want.

Code:

---

    Private Sub ComboBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.Click
        ComboBox1.DroppedDown = True
    End Sub

---

Hope this helps

Satal :D

Cursor focus could mean one of two things. It could mean when clicked and if that's the case, Satal example works just fine. But it could also me when it has focus, like it was tabbed to. And in that case, the enter event should do.

vb Code:

Private Sub ComboBox1_Enter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.Enter
        ComboBox1.DroppedDown = True
    End Sub
