Combo Box property

Does anyone know of a property or method for making a combo box
execute some code when the box's list button is pressed? I've tried
On Click, On DblClick, On Enter, On Update, etc, and the only thing
that comes close is On Got Focus, but it only works once. Certain
form controls need to be disabled whenever the list button is pressed,
and then re-enabled when a list selection is made (On Update works for
that).

Programmatic suggestion are always welcome.

Thanks

There is no event for dropping the list.

I can understand disabling other controls until after a selection is made,
but why wait until they drop the list to disable them? Can't they just
start out disabled and then you enable them when a selection has been made
in the ComboBox?

They do start out disabled until a selection is made. The purpose of
this control is to allow the user to browse records, those records
being selectable by a value from the list. The purpose of disabling
everything between selections would be nice to avoid some (possible)
confusion in this case, but not completely necessary. I merely
thought I'd put the question out in case I missed something.

Thanks
