I'm not sure if you wish to activate the combo with a specific or an available keypress (Available is usually better because no matter who the developer was it will always work the same way). If available is good enough then: if the Style propery is set to Combo you can either press ALT-DOWNARROW or ALT-UPARROW - If the Style property is List then you can also use the SPACEBAR
