.NET CF set 'DroppedDown' for combobox

I want to open a combobox from my program on a mobile program (.net cf 3.5).

but there doesn't exist a property like cmbBox.DroppedDown in compact-framework Accesing WinCE ComboBox DroppedDown property (.NET CF 2.0) But I don't want to get the current state, but to set it.

How do I perform this?

Solution

  • You can take the same approach as in the referenced article and send it a Message.

    Instead use const int CB_SHOWDROPDOWN = 0x14F for your message.

    From that reference sample, modified a bit:

    Message.Create(comboBox.Handle, CB_SHOWDROPDOWN , (IntPtr)1, IntPtr.Zero); // to open

Message.Create(comboBox.Handle, CB_SHOWDROPDOWN , (IntPtr)0, IntPtr.Zero); // to close
