Comments

The Expand method expands all items so their dependents become visible.

The Expand method expands all items and restores the expand/collapse state of all dependent items, as saved by a previous Items.Collapse or Item.Collapse method call.

If items are already expanded when using Expand, the items remains unchanged. It does not make any indirect dependents visible. To make sure that an item's indirect dependents are shown, use the Items.Collapse method first, which collapses all items (and all dependents), followed by Expand. Now all dependents are visible.

The drop down portion is automatically hidden when the combo box contents are changed using this method. The DropDown.SuppressOn method can be used to suppress hiding the drop down portion when adding/inserting items.
