close popup list after selection (no tab index)

[JitseSchaafsma]

I want to close a popup list after the user has clicked on his/her selection. I know that using a tab index this can be done. However, i do not want to use a tab index because then somewhere on my layout there is always a blinking cursor.

Does anyone have a suggestion on this or how can i avoid this blinking cursor.

Thanks Jitse

Why not use a pop-up menu instead of a list?

Another method is to put a second instance of the field (without list or menu format) beneath the original field object. Then set the tab order to go to the second instance after the first.
