Force combo box list to drop?

[Phil (OmnisList)]

Hi Paul,

The answer is yes... because we do just that...

we run off a key event, whereupon we go fetch the matching list data,
tab out of the field then click on the field
Queue Tab
Queue click [field]

The click causes the dropdown list to show...

in evbefore, we make sure the cursor just goes to the end of the
contents, so you can keep typing...
ie set $lastsel and $firstsel to len of current contents...

It works really well.
