Hello ,
I have two problems i don't know how to solve . I've created a combobox that is formatted as a dropdown listbox so users can only select predefined items. This works fine , but i'm not satisfied with the behavoir of this control . I want the user to be able to use the enter key in all the controls so that it will jump to the next control in the tab order. This seems to work only for text box controls . So my first question is :
Is it possible to change the focus (tabindex) by pressing enter , when using a combobox ? (normally this is done by pressing the Tab key)
Next i want the dropdown list to automatically drop down and display the full list of items when the control recieves the focus. I know the user can click the arrow and the list will drop, but i want to reduce the use of the mouse . This is for a faster way of entering data. So my second question is:
Is it possible to automatically make the dropdown listbox 'drop down' once it has the focus ?
Thanks in advance for any thought on these questions.
Cheers
