Need an API for DataCombo

Wonder if someone already has some code. I want to control when a user can access a bound combo's drop down list, similar to the TextBox Locked Property only via API. Not interested in using the Enabled property.
Basically...
.
if bEditFlag = False
<code to prevent the dropdown from operating>
else
<code to allow the dropdown to operate>
end if
.
Anyone?
Thanks

You can use SendMessage API to dropdown th e combo


Private Declare Function SendMessageLong Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long


Public Sub DropDown(cbo As ComboBox, blnShow As Boolean)

If blnShow Then
SendMessageLong cbo.hwnd, CB_SHOWDROPDOWN, 1, ByVal 0&
Else
SendMessageLong cbo.hwnd, CB_SHOWDROPDOWN, 0, ByVal 0&
End If

End Sub


Check your boolean and then collapse CB

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
