Arrow keys for drop downs

[Emma]

Hi I was wondering 2 things 1. how do I make it so the user can tab through
the fields on a form with their keyboard and when they get to a drop down
menu they just use the the up and down arrow keys to go through the drop down
menu. 2. Howcan I make it so the user can select more then one in a list.

The arrow keys don't pull down the drop down menu they just go to the next
field below (for down arrow)

How does the multi select feature work, I tried shift and control neither
worked. Can I make a ListBox look like a drop down?

Thanks Rural Guy both of your answers helped alot. I'm really glad you could
answer my questions so fast. I still don't understand how to create drop down
menu with more then one selection, is this at all possible?

You would need to set the MultiSelect property to YES.

You can make the ComboBox drop down when it receives the focus and the arrow
keys already work the way you described. A ComboBox does not have a
