WM 5.0 ComboBox displays its List when <Enter> is pressed

2 New Member
Hello,

I have an application that works on a PPC 2003 device but causes a slight problem on a WM 5.0 device. These devices are equipt with barcode scanners.

The problem that I am seeing is that on the WM 5.0 device, when I scan a barcode in a combo box, the list is automatically displayed hiding the text box below it. I have to click somewhere on the screen to close it. This does not happen on the PPC 2003 device.

I have looked into the combobox.Droppe dDown method, but I see that it is not supported on the compact framework.

The barcode scanner is used as a wedge and it appends a <Enter> to the end of the scan.

I am using Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2005 for development.

Is there something that I am missing?

Thanks in advance.

Applications that are written for PPC 2003 are not always fully compatible with WM. There has been lots of changes to the code base from 2003 to now. I'm not sure you are missing anything except for porting problems between the two OSes.

Hello, I have been playing with various Googled solutions for capturing the <Enter> key to suppress form submission. My first question is whether anyone has a script that works in all common browsers? The script bellow is IE only. It fails FF 1.0 and NN 7. Also, if I can trap the keypress I would like to use it to tab to the next tabindex.

If I'm in a multi-line textbox and I'm writing a postal address (ie. write ist line and press <Enter>, write 2nd line and press <Enter>, etc...) how can I make sure that the Enter key will always make the cursor jump to the following line in the textbox? For some reason, and this happens everywhere except on my development PC (and it's not consistent), if a user's writing a line and presses the <Enter> key, the program interprets that as...

On my simple login-screen I have a 'username' and 'password' field and an imagebutton for the 'OK'. This used to work nicely so that when the user hit <Enter> from the password field, it invoked the VB code behind the image-button, and away he went. Suddenly this has stopped working like this. It still works if you use the mouse to click on the button, or first TAB to it, then click <Enter>. However, if you now hit <Enter> with the...

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

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,...
