Making the drop-down list appear faster

Question: How do I get the drop-down list (pick list) to appear faster? I don't want to have to click 4 times every single time. Answer: In your OnCellClick event handler for your TDBGrid, do this: keybd_event(VK_F2,0,0,0); keybd_event(VK_F2,0,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0); keybd_event(VK_MENU,0,0,0); keybd_event(VK_DOWN,0,0,0); keybd_event(VK_DOWN,0,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0); keybd_event(VK_MENU,0,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0); This is the same as pressing F2 followed by Alt+DownArrow.
