Hi,
I'm adding keytips to my ribbon controls and noticed that when I select a ComboEditorTool control using the keytip and then press the down arrow, instead of dropping down the menu (like it does in Microsoft Word - for example for font or style selection), it selects the next item in the list (and does not drop down the menu...) This is annoying in our application because selecting another item in some of the ComboEditorTools triggers a database access that may take a second or two.
I was wondering if this is normal/standard/a bug or is this a behavior I can change with some property?
Thanks,Michel
Hi Matt,
The "ALT-down arrow" solution will do just fine, thanks! (Sorry for the late reply, I was away for a couple of weeks.)

HI,
I am following up on this thread.

I tested this out with NetAdvantage 10.2 and Word 2010.
If you hit the down arrow the next item in the combobox is selected.. This is also how word works. If you keep holding the ALT and hit the down arrow - our control will dropdown.
One possibility is that if the comboeditortool gets focus, you could force the dropdown to occur.
comboEditor1.GotFocus +=
void
comboEditor1_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs
e)
{
