>>Double Click event is fired only when you double click in Text portion of the combo, not in the list one. So follow Naomi's suggestion, put your code in IAC event.

But NODEFAULT prevents any interaction (no list when the drop-down arrow is pressed, no click event code, no dbl-click event code). I could create a new control, but I've been asked to work with the ones we have.

As far as I understand you want to do something when user selec some item from List and then double click on text portion of the combo, right? If so can you post your code for that combo? I mean the code in Click, GotFocus, KeyPress events etc.
