Comboboxgadget() open and display

Hello PB users,
How do I get a comboboxgadget to open up and display a particular item? I know I can set the item by index and that item will display, but the comboboxgadget does not open up.
I've done it in another BASIC with a dll call:
Code: Select all
Calldll #user32, "SendMessageA", hWnd as long, __CB_SHOWDROPDOWN as long, 1 as long, 0 as long, r as void.
Is there a native PB solution?
Thanks.

So would
combohwnd be my comboboxgadget handle/constant?
Thanks.

Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 270, 140, #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered, "ComboBoxGadget") And CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
ButtonGadget(0, 10, 10, 250, 20, "Show List")
ComboBoxGadget(1, 10, 40, 250, 80)
For i = 1 To 5
AddGadgetItem(1, -1, "ComboBox item " + Str(i))
Next i
Repeat
event = WaitWindowEvent()
If event = #PB_EventGadget And EventGadgetID() = 0
SendMessage_(GadgetID(1), #CB_SHOWDROPDOWN, 1, 0)
SetGadgetState(1, 2)
EndIf
Until event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
End
