im displaying second form on the dropdown event of combobox of first form

now after i close the second form the combobox in the first form shouldnt remain drop down

this is okay when i use .show to display first form but when i use .showdialog the combo box remains drop down after i close the second form

Sorry if i missunderstand you. I was thinking on your own dropdown part of combo box. Nevermind. Can you tell as which event you use to call second form, or even better the source.

Can you move the code for calling second form from DropDown event to SelectedIndexChanged, just to see what will happen.

well this aint working

i checked the value of comboBox1.DroppedDown property but it is already false within the .dropdown event

......................

any other ideas
nbrege
comboBox1.DroppedDown = false;

should do the trick nicely. Note, what you are seeing may in fact be a painting issue in which case this probably won't help.

It should work with the .SelectedIndexChanged event handler (I just tried it and it worked for me). Could you post your code

You should close the form on any of this form events: Deactivate, Leave and also good on Escape key down. Not to mention on selected item with click, double click, select end pressed enter key.
