Sounds like you want a ListBox then?

I use ComboBox.MaxDropDownItems to choose the maximum number of visible items (max 100!); you can set ComboBox.DroppedDown to make it show the items. :)

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

Hi Sorry it is not a listbox, Every thing is like combobox only. but only the difference is, It is Combobox only, but in formload the height of combo should be in expandedmode(all combo items will be visible to the user)

If I understood you right you mean this: comboBox1.DroppedDown = true;

Hi Thanks alot.it solves my combobox problem, but the problem is with Cursor, it shows WaitCursor instead of showing Default Cursor. Regards, Pawan. -- Modified Friday, March 5, 2010 1:26 AM

I can't reproduce your problem, but you can try this.

Cursor = Cursors.Default;

Hi Working fine, but the problem is with clicks only. To raise the EventHandlers i need to click the button for twice. Let me know if u have any idea, Thanks in advance. -- Modified Friday, March 5, 2010 3:57 AM

Sorry I do not really understand what you mean. Which button do you have to click twice? If you just need that an event should be risen, then just call the event in your formload yourself.

I have set the ComboBox DroppedDown Property to true. Now the actual problem is When the ComboBox DroppedDown is Shown Or True I have to actually click twice to get out of the form or need to click twice to do anything. For Example in My Form If I have 2 Controls One is ComboBox and Another Button Which Clicked Just Closes the Form. Then I set ComboBox DroppedDown = true.So When the ComboBox DroppedDown = true to click on Close Button I need to click twice to initate click event on the button. Plz Help me on how to do it once when ComboBox DroppedDown = true.If Combobox DroppedDown = true. I need to click twice to click on the Form as Well.

This is usually not possible, because if the combobox is dropped down it has the mouse capture. If you set the mouse capture to an other control it directly loses dropped down state. You maybe can try to redirect all mouse inputs from your combobox to the parent, but I don't think that this is possible and even if its possible its hard to implement.
