I created a combo box and I need to know when the drop‑down menu is open, in order to avoid hiding the combo box while the drop‑down is visible.&lt;br/&gt;
Alternatively, if it’s not possible to detect whether the drop‑down is open, I would like to know how to close or hide the drop‑down programmatically when the combo box is made invisible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm using Codesys 3.5 SP19 on IFM CR1074 without touch screen (with standard keyboard handling)&lt;br/&gt;
Thanks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary></entry></feed>
