  • 0

I have a System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox on a form and I want to capture the event just before the ComboBox’s menu is displayed (something like “DroppingDown”). I can’t seem to find a suitable event.

Is capturing this type of event possible with a ComboBox?

    The ComboBox should have a DropDown Event. If I am not mistaken, this event should fire immediately when the drop down list starts to show.

    What exactly are you wanting to accomplish immediately before the drop down shows that necessitates your capturing of such an event?
