Re: [platform-swt-dev] Open Combo programatically

Hi Federico,

Not with the SWT api. You can try the message CB_SHOWDROPDOWN, it seems to be supported on WinCE - I just haven't tried myself yet.

 ¿Are you saying you can't use the stylus of the iPaq? On this platform, you are expected to click on the combo box arrow down with the stylus to bring up the list of choices. That's the way regular apps such as Word work on this device.

If for some reason you can't use a stylus - but this is surprising  -  I'd suggest  another workaround: use a combination of a List, and a Text widget instead of a Combo. You will then be able to show/hide the List as you want.

¿Is it possible to open a Combo programatically?
We are using SWT on Windows for pocket pc (Compaq iPaq) and we can't use pointing devices, just a strange keyboard with a few keys. F4 opens it on windows (PC), but it seems to be impossible to do that using the soft keyboard.

I believe it's not possible to open them with the api, but maybe using OS.sendMessage(...)?
Any ideas?
