Open picklist from ComboBox dropdown

SWF ComboBox dropdown menu first item selection must open picklist.
For this I use the following code:

protected override void OnSelectedIndex Changed(System. EventArgs e) {
if (SelectedIndex != 0 || DropDownStyle != ComboBoxStyle.D ropDown) {
base.OnSelected IndexChanged(e) ;
return;
}
OpenPickList();
}

This causes picklist to open immediately if keyboard arrow key *activates*
to this item.
How to force OpenPickList() call only if user *selects* first menu item from
keyboard using enter or closing menu by F4 ?
Using mouse this works OK: OnSelectedIndex Changed does not occur if mouse
activates first item.
Why OnSelectedIndex Changed when first item is selected from keyboard ? How
to postpone this event until dropdown menu is closed ?

Andrus.

Hi All, I am trying to change the rowsource of a combobox when I click on it. I played with many events, associated with the form and the combobox, but still haven't figured out what is the way of doing it. I have a table with products, tblProducts, some of them are Active while others are Inactive. The form shows all the products purchased by a customer, both Active and Inactive in a ComboBox, cbProducts. My client wants to view all...

Greetings. In Access, is there a way to open up a drop-down combobox with keys on the keyboard, instead of using the mouse to click on the down arrow of the combobox? I really prefer to use the arrows on the keyboard and the enter key to make my selection. But if I have to click on the down arrow of the combobox then I might as well use the mouse pointer to make my selection. Just curious. Thanks.

I want to set the Default value of a Combobox for any changeable record and have got this working but it is totaly unsatisfactory see the code below I loop through the items in the Combo looking for a match between cVal and the selectedValue then stop when I do have a match the obvious problem is that each iteration fires the selectedIndexChanged but also for a large list this will slow everything down. There must be a better way int...

Hi all! I have an OwnerDrawVariable ComboBox in .net. In the ComboBox DropDown event I display another control - works well. In the control's Leave event I remove the control - works well. So if you click on the DropDown button the control is displayed. If you click anywhere other than the DropDown button the control is removed. This works well. Sequence of events is:

I have seen this question raised, but I cannot find an answer. I have an MDI app, when I load an child form with a combobox being bound in the load event, it won't allow me to set selectedindex = -1. If it isn't an mdi child, then there isn't a problem. I have tried setting it to -1 two times. I have tried setting the selecteditem property to -1 and also to nothing. None of it seems to make a difference. Any help will be appreciated.

Overview: 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,...
