Default How can I activate a combobox by keyboard strokes ?

Hi Oscar,

It worked for me on both data validation and a control toolbox combo.

Maybe as Tom suggests you can tell which combo you are using.

Hi Oscar,

Have you tried ALT + down arrow?

satisfy the user in case the user doesn't want to switch between


keyboard

and mouse all the time. How can I activate the combobox events (such as
dropdown and select an item by pressing return key) automatically from


the

keyboard strokes or do I have to write my own procedures ?
