   In the report control, when a combobox dropdown list is displayed, it is possible to navigate through the options using the cursor keys. However, it does not seem possible to select the currently highlighted item by pressing the return key. The only method of selecting an item is by using the mouse.
 
   
  Is it possible to select combobox items from a dropdown list using only the keyboard?

   In my Version 11.2.0 it's work fine.
 
   
  I can open the dropdown by ALT-CursorDown, select with the cursorkeys and with enter, the item is selected and the list is closed.

   Baldur, thanks for your help. I can't recreate exactly what you suggested - although it did allow me to discover that pressing Alt and either the up or down cursor selected the item from the drop down list - which is enough for my needs at the moment.
 
   
  I'm also using Version 11.2.0, so not sure why the difference. Thanks again.
