Display Combobox entries

[SQLHarry2]

Hi,

Looking for any inputs.

We are making one textbox for entering server name in the UI.
Based on the textbox entry we are searching for severnames and populating a combox box.

After search is complete user has to go and select drop down button to see the entries and select the necessary entry.

Instead, once search is complete, is there a way to Display all the entries that are populated in in combo box so that user dont need to drop down inorder to see the list.

Thanks
Harry

Not knowing what the rest of your UI is like, the obvious way is to use a list ctrl rather than a combo box.
A combo box is generally used to allow a user to choose from a preset number of values for settings or further processing rather than to display results.

Just set the ComboBox "DropDownStyle" property to "Simple" and it will display all of the entries like a ListBox.

You can also just do this after loading the CB:

$combobox1.Items.AddRange(@('aaa','bbb','ccc','ddd'))
$combobox1.DroppedDown = $true

PERFECT.
That is the exact step.

Thank you jvierra.
