ComboBox Double Click in vb.net

[Anne]

Hello,

I have a combobox in vb.net that I am trying to preform
an action on if the user double clicks it. I have set
the DoubleClick event but it does not fire. Has any one
else seen this and do you know how to get around it?

Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure, but I think this 'might' ( he says carefully ) be
either a bug or a feature ( sitting on the hedge ), because its been
reported before and I cant find reference to a solution.

Maybe someone else will chip in with some interest here !?!

Seems to be a bug -- according to the .NET documentation
(<URL:ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.2003APR.1033/cpref/html/frlrfSystemWindowsFormsControlClassDoubleClickTopi c.htm>
it should work, but it doesn't).
