No, it doesn't drop the list box. It is code which is executed when

the user drops the list box.

IOW, it is not a trigger which causes the event to occur; it is a

reaction to an event having occurred. As a related example, a command

button visually changes when you click on it with the mouse, and then any

code in its Click() event is executed. If you manually call the button's

Click() event code from somewhere else in your program, the code will

run, but you won't see the button visually "click".
