Yep, F4 ... but how intuitive is that? I think I put some code in the keypress event to make keys like Shift+DownArrow or Ctrl+DownArrow do a keypress F4. The user is more likely to use those keys to attempt to dropdown the list.

Now you got me worried that I should all for keypresses to bring down the list also. Oh well, something to do when I am staring at my screen asking myself what I should do next.
