[Solved] List box drop down

[Jjs2060]

I have a form with several controls, one being a list box. I tab from control to control. What I want to do is...when the list box gets the focus, the drop down list will drop down without having to use the mouse to hit the drop down arrow. Macro code is ok if no other way. Thanks for the help.

Sort the list box entries in ascending order.
Use the keyboard to type the first letters of the item you are after.
Additionally you may implement the list box as a multi-line list box rather than drop-down so you can see the neighbouring items of the current item.

Hi,
i found a method:

Code: Select all

sub Drop_down_Listbox
    oController = thiscomponent.CurrentController
    oListbox = thisComponent.drawpage.forms.getbyname("MainForm").getbyname("myListbox")
    oListboxControl = oController.getControl(oListbox)
    oListboxControl.AccessibleContext.doAccessibleAction(0)'drops it down
end sub
