Using arrow keys in a combo box doesn't work

[Halliarse]

I'm using VB.net in Visual Studio 2012

I have a form which has a combo box control which I build from within my code, this seems to work well. However, my users want to use a keyboard arrow keys to scroll through the list and the enter key to actually make the selection but when the list is presented, as soon as the down arrow key is depressed, that item in the list is selected!

Is there something I need to do to get this control to work using a keyboard as it works perfectly with the mouse?

Many thanks

“as soon as the down arrow key is depressed, that item in the list is selected!”
Isn’t that the way it is supposed to work?

“it works perfectly with the mouse?”
Are you saying you can select the item with your mouse, but the item is NOT selected?

I believe you want to say: "I can scroll down with the mouse without selecting any items in the drop-down box, and I want to be able to do the same from keyboard."

Is that correct?



Have fun.

That is totally correct Andy!
