How To Open Combox Box Window with Mouse/Key Down
I have a combo box that is used for selecting items. If they start to enter
to the list and the item does come up I would like to be able to open the window with a mouse down or cursor down event so they can see what they want and be able to pick it. Is someone able to tell me what the correct procedure should be. Thank you |

How To Open Combox Box Window with Mouse/Key Down
Are you saying that the user can start typing and get a possible match, but
you want them to be able to drop the list down at that point, so they can pick a different item? They can click on the combo box's drop-down arrow (right-side). They can press AltDownArrow to drop the list down. If the list is already dropped, they can use the arrow keys (up/down) to move up/down the list, and Tab to select the highlighted object.

How To Open Combox Box Window with Mouse/Key Down
Thank you. Yes. They are typing so I did not want to have to have them go to
the combox box drop down arrow with the mouse so was looking for a way to use something like 'onkey..up or down' or ondirty but could not figure out how to make that work. I was thinking that they could just hit the down cursor arrow and that would be more of what I was looking for. Are you able to advise on that. In the short term will advise of the Alt+DownArrow.
