ComboBox closes up after filling

[midavisATdls]

In a C# dot net app:
In the drop down event of the combo box, if the count is <1 I populate the list from a database. But then the combo closes up and the user has to click the down arrow again. I see the list flash, but then it closes up.

It is loading 2300 aggregated records so it does take a little while.

I am using the Begin/End Update methods while filling.

after the first drop down, it is fine.

Thanks,
Mike

That's odd that it closes after it's populating, I've never tried. I agree with fastestindian, lets see some code :D

However, there is a way to programatically specify that a combo box should be in the dropped down state. It's the DroppedDown property; set it to true.
