      The ComboBox doesn't expose a double-click event. Frankly, it's not inuitive to double-click on anything in a ComboBox, so why would you need it?

        Thanks for replying.. My situation goes this way... my combobox holds the list of my contacts.. and if i want to view / edit Personal Information of that specific contact.. i'll just double click the combo box to show my contacts information form... In that way i can go to my contacts info by just double clicking my combox...

          Hi!, I am not trying to ask you to change the design of your app., but a feasible solution is an Edit button right besides the cboBox so that the user may select the comboBox item and then click on edit to edit the selected record. This way the user is not forced to do any extra thing, since any which way he had to click TWICE to edit/view the record. Hope this helps you out in some way or the other. Happy Programming!!!!

            Make it any way you wish. The ComboBox still doesn't expose a double-click event. ListBox and ListView, more traditionally used for what you describe, both expose a double-click.
