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

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.DroppedDown 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.

Thanks for your response. I'll keep digging into it.
