Yes it is possible! You could consume the "KeyUp" event of the ComboBox for
doing this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The code below gives you a clear picture of the sequence in which the
relevant events are triggered.
public Form1()
{
//
// Required for Windows Form Designer support
//
InitializeComponent();
//
// TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call
this.comboBox1.SelectionChangeCommitted +=new
EventHandler(comboBox1_SelectionChangeCommitted);
this.comboBox1.KeyDown +=new KeyEventHandler(comboBox1_KeyDown);
this.comboBox1.KeyUp +=new KeyEventHandler(comboBox1_KeyUp);
//
}
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
comboBox1.Items.Add("A");
comboBox1.Items.Add("B");
comboBox1.Items.Add("C");
comboBox1.Items.Add("D");
comboBox1.Items.Add("E");
}
private void comboBox1_SelectionChangeCommitted(object sender, EventArgs
e)
{
Debug.WriteLine(this.comboBox1.SelectedItem);
}
private void comboBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
{
Debug.WriteLine("ENTER KEY DOWN");
}
}
private void comboBox1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
{
Debug.WriteLine("ENTER KEY UP");
/*Do your DB Re-Query operation here as this gets triggered after the
SelectChangeCommitted event...*/
}
}
Hope this helps!

>Hi,
You are automatically selecting the items as you navigate using the Arrow
keys. So hitting the Enter key doesn't have any speciifc relevance as the
item would already have been selected by the time you hit the Enter key.
Please see the code below which demonstrates this:
public Form1()
{
//
// Required for Windows Form Designer support
//
InitializeComponent();
//
// TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call
this.comboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged +=new
EventHandler(comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged);
//
}
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
comboBox1.Items.Add("A");
comboBox1.Items.Add("B");
comboBox1.Items.Add("C");
comboBox1.Items.Add("D");
comboBox1.Items.Add("E");
}
private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Debug.WriteLine(this.comboBox1.SelectedItem);
}
Hope this helps!

>>Hi,
I am having a problem trying to select an item with the enter key.
I want to work the combo with the keyboard.
So when I use the down arrow to browse the list I want to then
hit the enter key as if selecting an item with the mouse.
How do I do this?
Can't seem to get it working.
Is this a setup of the combo issue?
