No, it doesn't.

To what? Are you saying that when a form is resized, the combobox gets
focus? If not that, I have no idea what you're talking about. You need to
elaborate more.

I'm lost. What problem are you having? You mention a KeyDown event for the
form. You mention the combobox having focus. You mention the combobox
"opening" (I assume this means showing the dropdown portion). What's the
problem? Is the combobox showing the dropdown when you press a key? If the
combobox has focus, that would be normal. What is the code in your
Form_Keydown event? Do you have KeyPreview set to True? What behavior are
you desiring?

In your mind, I'm sure everything's clear and makes sense. But we're not
mindreaders. You need to be specific and provide as much detail as you can
in order to get any kind of decent help.

Nothing wrong with asking for help. That's what the newsgroups are for.
But, you've got to make it clear what you need help with. I can't figure out
what that is.
