Combo drop down

Is it possible to send the keystoke equivalent to the combo so it will drop down when it recieves the focus?

A safer method is to use the [b]DroppedDown[/b] property. Just set it to true.

Sure, just put

[codesnippet]SendKeys.Send("%{DOWN}")[/codesnippet]

in the Enter handler for the dropdownlistbox

Of course you can just start typing to find the value you want.

Or, you can create a keypress handler to do the Sendkeys.Send on hitting space or something.

( this also works for dropping the calendar in a Datetimepicker, where I have it responding to a C or c.
