I have a combo box that I would like to expand or "drop down"
programmaticall y. The Simple style won't work because I still need the
control to contract or "roll up" after a selection is made, I just need to
be able to expand it with code. I'm not coming up with anything.. has
anyone done this? Do I need to fake a mouse click (yuck!)?
Thanks for reading,

Steve,
Have you tried to set the DroppedDown property on the combobox instance
to true? Doing so should set the drop down list to appear.
Hope this helps.

Hi all. Here is a tiny container for one of each combo box, along
with the glade file. Just 2 widgets, so hopefully not too large. How
the heck do I get the selection from the ComboBox, as opposed to the
ComboEntryBox?
I'm pulling my hair out over this one!

I've created a ghetto-ized ComboBox that should work nicely for Tkinter
(unfortunately no dropdown capabilities yet).
I've found why it's such a pain in the @ss to create one. You have to
re-create common methods and make sure they're mapped to the right
component (inside this widget are frame, entry, listbox, and scrollbar
widgets). I tried to look for ways I could inherit some methods from
other widgets but couldn't think of how to do...

I'm new to .net 2.0 and I'm trying to figure out the best way to create a
form that has a couple of controls and one of the controls is a combo box
with a data bound list of items from another table.
To understand the problem more, consider using the AdventureWorks2000
database. I want a simple form that shows FirstName, LastName, and Shift.
Instead of the ShiftID, I want the shift name from the Shift table to be
displayed.

Hi -
In my A2K database, I have a form with 2 Unbound Comboboxes, both of which
open up forms to a particular record. One of these comboboxes works
perfectly. For some reason the 2nd one WILL NOT autofill. If I enter a
number to lookup by typing it in, it ALWAYS says it's not in the list (Error
2237) - but if I select the item, it works fine. I only have 1 field in this
combobox - the SampleID. It is set up with the following...

I'm trying to find code for an Explorer-style Directory ComboBox. (You know, it display "Desktop", "My Computer", all drives, etc., but it has a treeview control inside the combobox so that you can navigate through the file system as well.)

Good Morning,
I have a combobox whose list is bound to DataSet1.Sales Growth

Dear reader,
What can be wrong in my ComboBox, the property "Auto Expand" is set to Yes,
but by typing in the ComboBox it doesn't expand. Is this because the source
of the ComboBox is a query.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
