DropDown Method Example

Microsoft Office Outlook 2003

The following example uses the DropDown method to display the list in a ComboBox. The user can display the list of a ComboBox by clicking the CommandButton.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains:

  • A ComboBox named ComboBox1.
  • A CommandButton named CommandButton1.
Dim ComboBox1

Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    ComboBox1.DropDown
End Sub

Sub Item_Open()
     Set ComboBox1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("ComboBox1")
    ComboBox1.AddItem "Turkey"
    ComboBox1.AddItem "Chicken"
    ComboBox1.AddItem "Duck"
    ComboBox1.AddItem "Goose"
    ComboBox1.AddItem "Grouse"
End Sub
