Thanks John. I think it was probably the wrong control to use anyway and
have instead populated a combobox to give me the effect I am after. The help
says the onclick will fire when esc, space etc are pressed  but not in my
case. Anyway, crisis averted - thanks for the feedback.

Hi James,

I made a simple test and the OnClick event fires OK - regardless of Style.

> When style = csDropdownList the underlying data is not visible

Here, the data in the underlying column is probably not in the Items list of
the combobox so won't appear.

Regards,
John

Simple problem - I have a DBCombobox connected properly to a
datasource/dataset containing one record. All I want to do is trap an
onClick event on this control but it just does not fire. When style =
csDropdownList the underlying data is not visible, when style = CSDropdown I
can see the record I am interested in. In both cases, no onClick fires no
matter what I do (space, escape, remove the control from its container etc).

Guess I am missing something fundamental but have no idea what? This is D5
Pro and I am running from within the IDE.

Some help would be appreciated - cheers.
