If I'm not mistaken, doubleclick event DOES get fired -- at least in the textbox part of the combo box. It doesn't appear to fire when applied to the dropdown list portion however (though I've heard rumor that it DOES fire if the date is the 32nd of February if it is the eighth day of the week on a night of a full moon immediately following a new moon for years that are prime and evenly divisible by two and three).
