Hi Jim,

Actually, originally I had something like this. But when the combobox is in a grid, the user wants to be moved to the next/previous line and this wouldn't do the trick, so I came up with the code I have now.

My biggest concern though is that if the code works in a combobox, why doesn't it work when the code is in the combobox class? Is this a bug?
