Not that I know of without creating your own user control and building in that functionality. You can force it to change values though and select items of the list using the ListIndex property...

vb

Private Sub Text1_Change()
    Combo1.ListIndex = 2
End Sub


When the user writes something into our textbox it will change the combo to select the 3rd item in the combo and make it the one that is displayed in the top of the combo drop down.

This doesn't reveal the entire list, but this is probably one of the closest ways you are going to get that functionality without creating your own custom control based off of a combobox.

Hopefully that can do something similar to what you are asking about. smile.gif
