1) How to detect that <enter is press on a editable combobox activeX
control?
From property of combobox, Style is set to DropDownCombo!

2) How to stop ActiveX control Date and Time Picker resize automatically?
As I'm using Worksheet_SelectionChange to detect that if certain range of
cell is selected, then Date and Time Picker control will appear.
However, it did not appear correctly at the specified position all the
times, and usually a "ghostly" image also occur.

Use keyup or keydown event.

Try using doevents right after you display it.

Basically yes, although you can create a class module and use it to work for
multiple controls.

You can adapt it to your situation.

The worksheet contains only 1 Date and Time Picker for a column. (i.e only 8
rows of date and time is require for the user). Is it better to have
individual Date and Time Picker for each row?

Hi,

DoEvents is a slightly misnamed routine. In other places it is known as
"yield". What it does is suspend the current thread and allow all the other
pending "events" to execute before resuming the active thread.

It is not a universal panacea, particularly in VBA, as XL may well be
running the thread you want to "yield". Nevertheless it is a good place to
start to try and work out why your screen is not redrawing as you expect.

Peter Beach

No, I suggested using the command doevents after you issue the command to
display the date time picker at the specified location. Hopefully this will
correct the ghost image problem you describe. Peter has kindly offered an
explanation of what DoEvents does.

DTPicker_date.Top = Target.Top + (Target.Height / 4)
ActiveCell.Value = DTPicker_date.Value

You can, but it would add no value. You want it after you make the control
visible.
