FWIW, I've added an AutoDropDown property to TCombobox for D7 so upon
entering the combobox the list will automatically dropdown for you.

Steve,

Any chance you'll add similar functionality to the TDateTimePicker?  I
posted a message regarding the apparent inability to force it to drop down
since the DroppedDown property is read only.

Cheers,

Chris

I haven't looked at that particular control but certainly feel free to log
it in QualityCentral.  Makes me wonder if programmatic dropdown is even
supported on that control?

Maby sending ALT+(ARROW)DOWN should do the trick using PostMessage?
(when the control has focus).

kind regards,

Nope. One has to fake an Alt-Down arrow keypress to get it to open.
