ComboBoxExt drop list from code

[Terry Diederich]

I'm using a ComboBoxExt with a ListBox attached to the ListControl property. When the user enters this control, I'd like to automatically drop the list down. With the standard .NET ComboBox I do this by setting DroppedDown property to true. I can't find that property with the ComboBoxExt. How do I drop down the list through code?

Thanks

Terry,

We will provide a DroppedDown property for the combo in our next patch.

If you need one right now, there is a protected ShowPopup() method in the ComboBoxExt that needs to get called. Since, it is protected, you will have to derive from the base class and provide a different public wrapper method.
