Programatically make CommandBarComboBox open
I made Outlook Add-in and it has CommandBarComboBox control that shows up in
the Outlook toolbar. It has several items in the list. Based on what user selects CommandBarComboBox repopulates with different values. I want CommandBarComboBox to open automattically when I click on the item in the list(or stay open) and not close. User has to click on the CommandBarComboBox to open it and see the result. CommandBarComboBox has only one event "changed". I couldn't do anything with that. Any ideas how can I do this in the code. I tried with API call that works with VB combo box, but it takes hWnd as a argument which CommandBarComboBox doesn't have. Couldn't do it with Sendkeys neither because it seems that you can only cause CommandBarComboBox to open if you click with the mouse on the down arrow. Any help is greatly appriciated. Thanks, Goran

Programatically make CommandBarComboBox open
As far as I know there's nothing you can do like you want to do.

Programatically make CommandBarComboBox open
Not natively. Your choices are button, combo and popup.
Some 3rd party libraries or frameworks such as Add-In Express claim to let you use any form from the collection available for managed code in Windows Forms as Outlook controls for menus/toolbars but then you're locked into that framework, for good or bad. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "goran" wrote in message ...
