ComboBox DblClick

I want to be able to dblclick on a combobox and pop up another
form. The combobox is in dropdown mode. By default, dbl clicking
on the combobox just selects the text. I need to override that. How
do I do that?

That might be a little bit outside the norm of user interface. If you want
to let user double click from a list of selection, then the listbox should
be the choice. Pop down menus are selected by highlighting the selction and
letting go.

But, the user wants to be able to type a new entry or select from a list.
Then she wants to dbl click on the entry and bring up another window.
I guess I'll have to find a new way to do that. Thx.
