I have a form with four combo boxes providing parameters to a procedure that determines potential storage spots and populates a fifth combo with the list. When the fifth combo is populated a keyboard statement triggers a dropdown to allow a choice. My problem has been that the calling combo loses its display when the keyboard line is executed. What follows is Co-pilots write up.
Workaround for ComboBox Dropdown Issue
*Problem:* The ComboBox dropdown causes the calling ComboBox to lose its display.
*Initial Approach:*
- Tried to refresh the form right after the keyboard statement, but this prevented the dropdown from working. - Writing debugging messages right after the dropdown also caused problems.
*Solution:*
- Call the form refresh in the dropdown event of the ComboBox. - This allows the dropdown to happen and keeps the calling combo display active.
