VB.net, Combobox and keyboard function keys

Hello All,
Just couple of simple questions if someone can help:
1. I have a combobox and its properties are set as:
Autocomplete mode = suggestappend
Autocomplete source = List items
Is there an event which will allow me to trap Value member detail when
the user scrolling through the List items list?
2. How to assign dynamic values to any Function keys on keyboard.
3. hoew to assign Control + I = todays date

Above is required for vb.net application.
All comments welcome.

list

Well, it seems that Microsoft, or whatever powers that be have decided it's time for us to have yet another standard keyboard layout change. I think I see that the point of this one was to reduce the space occupied by the keys on the right, so the reach to the mouse is not so bad, but the way they chose to do it? Ah - I see. Since most...
