Hi, Poy,

Based on my understanding, you want to drop down a ComboBox when you click a button, don't you?

This is possible using DroppedDown property of the ComboBox.

For example,

Code Block

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Me.ComboBox1.DroppedDown = True

End Sub

Hope this helps,
