ComboBox.DropDown in VB 6.0

[dpdoug]

I'm converting an Access application to VB 6.0. There is a method in the Access ComboBox control that you can call from the KeyDown Event to cause the list to drop down programatically called DropDown.

How can I get the same effect in VB 6? The ComboBox control in VB 6 doesn't have this method.

When the combo box has focus, press and hold <alt> and then press the down cursor key. This will open the dropdown box. Thanks and Good Luck!

Thanks for the prompt response. tek-tips will always be my prefered place to get quick answers.
This is how I resolved the problem:

Private Sub cboColHeaders_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Select Case KeyCode
Case vbKeyRight
SendKeys &quot;%{DOWN}&quot;
Case vbKeyLeft
SendKeys &quot;{ESC}&quot;
End Select
End Sub

It worked like a charm!
