Lets say that I want to check a condition first and if the condition is true allow them to open it... if its false prevent them from opening it.<br> <br> ThanksFri, 27 Apr 2007 13:36:22 GMTStarkMikehttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost8563.aspxThats what I ended up doing :hehe: programmatically setting the Enabled property.</P><P>I was just looking for an event so that I could inform the user why I was preventing them from opening the combo. :)Fri, 27 Apr 2007 13:36:22 GMTStarkMikehttp://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost8557.aspxYou could always set the ComboBox.Enabled = false ;)</P><P>But something tells me that's not what you want to do.&nbsp; There's not a way to prevent it from happening, but when it happens, you can immidiately hide it by handling the DropDown event of the combo.&nbsp; If the condition is false, then immidiately set the DroppedDown property to False.&nbsp; There isn't a Close() method or I would recommend it, but the DroppedDown seems to do the same thing.Fri, 27 Apr 2007 10:40:00 GMTStrataFrame Team
