Invoke comboBox opening

Post by dunbarx » Tue May 06, 2014 2:56 pm

I had answered this, but then noticed that the thread had disappeared right after I posted. If the original poster did that himself (maybe because he fixed his problem), then fine. If not, here it is again:

The question was how to "open" a comboBox by script. The contents were updated via another process, and after a milestone had been reached, it was desired to display those contents. I suggested that the poster make a test combo, and in another button try this:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   click at  the right of btn "yourCombo" - 5  & "," & the top of btn "yourCombo" + 5
end mouseUp
The menu opens, and you can select what you like.
