Make ComboBox DropDown visible in code

How do I make the DropDown part of a ranorex.ComboBox visible.

Ranorex .ComboBox  comboBox=repo.Form365AgilePortal.FormsContainer.FieldPropertiesForm.AnswerTypeComboBox;
if(!comboBox .DropDownVisible )
        	{
        		// .. to go here ...
        	}

This is very frustrating.

I can open the combo box on screen by clicking the down arrow, but it closes as soon as I touch anything else.
I tried clicking the arrow in code, but all that happens is the control changes color:

Code: Select all

repo.Form365AgilePortal.FormsContainer.FieldPropertiesForm.BtnArrowBackground1.Click ();

I want to be able to search the contents of the combo box, at the moment it can't see them.

Hello stapes,

Usually, you can set the attribute value "DropDownVisible" to "true" in order to expand the items in a combobox.

repo.Preferences.MyComboBox.Element.SetAttributeValue("DropDownVisible", "true");

I hope that helps.

Regards,
Bernhard
