OK I understand how to fire the event, but don't really see how it is useful for a combolist.
If a user is using the keyboard to navigate the form, then setting the button event means they can use the arrow keys to move up and down the list (without any action), and then press Enter to fire the button event. However I don't think mouse users are able to fire the button event on a combolist, I have to set the select event for them to be able to use the control which effectively makes the button event redundant. The behaviour for a listbox is different because you can fire a button event using the mouse by double-clicking on an option. In my case I've just set the select event which will fire every time a new list-member is highlighted (either using keyboard or mouse), but that's fine (even desirable) for my application. ---Tom Arneson wrote: > The button event runs on the enter keypress while the control > is active.
