Unfortunately, this functionality is not supported in the .NET Compact
Framework v1.0.

Thank you,

Actually, i figured out how to do it, here is the solution:

Public Const CB_SETEXTENDEDUI = &H155
Public Declare Function SendMessage Lib "CoreDll.dll"
(ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal wMsg As Int32, ByVal wParam
As Boolean, Optional ByVal lParam As Integer = 0) As
Integer
Public Declare Function GetCapture Lib "CoreDll.dll" () As
IntPtr

combobox.Capture = True
Dim hwnd As IntPtr = GetCapture()
SendMessage(hwnd, CB_SETEXTENDEDUI, True)
combobox.Capture = False
