How to attach a control to combobox drop down event?

I want to attach a usercontrol or form to the combobox drop down so that
when I click the down arrow the usercontrol or form is shown and not the
combobox dropdownlist. My aim is to create a color picker control
functionality.

Maybe one of this controls can give you some hints on how to implement a
color picker based on a combobox:

I am using Visual C# .NET 2003 to make a ComboBox accept both mouse and keyboard selection. For mouse selection code, I double-clicked ComboBox to get the default "comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged" event. This code (see below) by itself works as expected with a mouse. But when using keyboard arrows to navigate the ComboBox drop- down, the SelectedIndexChanged event is triggered which is what I don't want using the keyboard. Instead, I want...

I've got what at first appears to be a really simple problem. I have a dropdown combobox with a list of names in, the user can enter text into the edit portion or drop the combobox and select a name.

Hi There! I have a Server-side Drop-down box in ASP.NET (VB) page. What do I do to widen the Drop down box's Pull-Down list's width? I'm not talking about the Drop-down box's width but the box that appear when user clicks the drop-down arrow button. Because items in the Drop down list are a little long, user can't see the full thing when they pull down the items from the drop down list.

I need a right-click menu on a form list control with combobox controls. I used View->Toolbars->Customize to create a toolbar. I added ComboBox through commands tab. I set properties to Popup making it a shortcut menu. I have no problem linking it to the list control. The menu comes up when I right-click the list control.

I want to set things up such that a section of code will have been executed by the time one clicks on the drop down arrow on a combo box control. Currently, that section of code resides in the OnGetFocus event of the combo box control, and this appears to work...I'm guessing because one cannot click on the drop down arrow of a combo box control without first having the combo box control receive focus. But I noticed that the code gets...

I am trying to get an event when the drop-down Combo Box goes away / reverts back to showing a single item. For example, clicking the box's down arrow, to remove the drop-down window, doesn't seem to generate any event. Not even a mouse event. That seems a little odd. Besides not finding a public event method, I can't seem to find a protected method to over-ride either.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
