ComboBox drop down list

Hi, all.

Have a question concerning a ComboBox component. How can I get the "drop
down" list to display when the combobox in accessed (OnEnter)? This would be
without a "click" on the down arrow but would display the contents every time
the component is accessed. It just happens to be the first component on the
form so I would like it to display it's contents when the form is accessed (or
whenever the component is clicked on).

Thanks for any help.

In D1:

In the OnEnter event handler call the DropDown method like this.

procedure TForm1.ComboBox1Enter(Sender: TObject);
begin
ComboBox1.DropDown;
end;

to close it...

procedure TForm1.CloseCombobox;
begin
DBLookupCombo1.CloseUp;
end;

Hope that helps!
