Why does the keyboard open when you click a combo box????
Its so annoying....Is there any way to stop the keyboard from opening when the user clicks on a combo box????

Is the SIP checkbox ticked on or off in your combo box's properties?

I have the same problem with one of my Apps. SIP is not ticked, if a check it will this solve the problem?

Anyone out there have a fix for this?

THere are three settings for the SIP checkbox on the combo box...No check, Check, Gray Check.....I tried all three and same thing...keeps opening the keyboard....
WHY would the keyboard open when you click a combo box when the input is being take care of by the combo box....seems foolish..

I did a bit of rsearch and ESRI fix was to just place all controls above the keyboard.....to me thats foolish....tons of wasted space and too many tabs created...
There has to be a fix here....

Even a command that closes the keyboard.....Then place it on the click event of the combobox....

THanks....

Got it....

THere is a SIP for every control on you form
THere is also a SIP check in the Form Properties, uncheck this one
THen go back and check (Dark check, there are 3 settings, off, dark check, light check) the ones you want the keyboard to open when you click the control....on an individual basis....
BUt you have to uncheck to main SIP on the form properties....

It worked for me....
