opening a combobox

[mcmcom]

hi ALL,

I am using a GWComboBox in my app and I want to make it open up its list when my app launches. I know the method to do this is showList(); because i can attach that code to a button and click it and it showsthe list (exactly the same method called by pressing the comboboxes down arrow) Anyways, i put this damn code all over my app to try and trigger it when it starts up but to no avail!! Anyone have any ideas why this would work on a button and not just in my code? Is it a stupid Selection focus issue?!?!?!

any help appreciated.

Um... What's that GWComboBox???

The bottom line is that it looks like the showList() function works, but it does not when it is placed in a certain places, right??? That sounds like a path problem to me... Make sure you are referrencing the component correctly...

ya. i got it actually, it was timing..... i placed it at the bottom of my code that loads the page and voila!

thanks CyanBlue!

PS GWComboBox is GhostWire Combobox. www.ghostwire.com

Ah... Yeah... That also could be an issue as well... Good catch... :)

GhostWire... Yup... The component looked very good... A bit pricey though... :(
