  • Winforms: how to open combobox properly? 5 answers

I have a windows form. In that windows form i have a combo box. I have predefined items in the combo box as Add, Remove and Delete. I want to make the combo box auto expand on mouse hover. How can I do that? I noticed that auto expand code should be given in the mouse hover event of combo box. like this

     private void comboBox1_MouseHover(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }  

but I don't know how to expand the combo box. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Ok I got it done the expanding part

    private void comboBox1_MouseHover(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        comboBox1.DroppedDown = true;

    }

but I want to close the combo box when I leave the mouse pointer from the combo box.. How to do that?

回答1:

Use the DroppedDown Property and make it true,

 private void comboBox1_MouseHover(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      var box = sender as ComboBox ;
       box.DroppedDown = true;
    }  


回答2:

comboBox1.DroppedDown = true;
