Excel 2010, how to keyboard shortcut to filter dropdown checkboxes? - excel-2010

For Excel 2010, when I have the filter drop-down open
...how do I get to the filter checkbox section via keyboard shortcut? Skipping everything from "Sort A to Z" to the "Search" box, going all the way to the checkboxes.

Quickest Option: e ↓
In Excel 2010 (English) you just have to press e to get to the filter textbox; from there you can use the down arrow key ↓ to go to the first checkbox:
Alternative Option
Shift+Tab
Shift+Tab
Shift+Tab
(as mentioned by #Sean_Cheshire) - this goes "backwards" from the first entry over "Cancel" and "OK" to the first (sic!) checkbox.
Related Question: How to open the filter drop-down
The question above is about how to move inside the filter drop-down. To open the filter drop-down, you have one or two options:
For any filter: As #Juhi and #Josh have pointed out, you can open said menu with the keyboard when the column heading cell (where you would click to open the drop-down) is selected by typing Alt+ ↓ .
For tables: If you are using a Table object instead of a pivot table or regular filtered range, you can be in any row of the Table and open the filter drop-down using Alt+Shift+ ↓

ALT+DOWN arrow key opens the selection box. Use the arrow keys to select an option and SPACEBAR to "check" or "uncheck."

Try ALT+down. It opens the drop down list in filters and cells as well.

Combo box not focusable

Is there any way we can set the combo box not focusable? Because every time I select an item from combo box (drop down list), the keyboard shows up and the text from drop down list can be edited. I can't find any property from property inspector to disable this up. Or maybe we can disable this one programmatically in which I don't know.
Consider using an Option Menu (unlike a Combo Box an Option Menu has no field which a user can type into - and therefore no unwanted appearance of the keyboard)

The default script for a combo box is a menuPick handler. Whether or not you use the functionality of that handler or not, you would add this line at the end of that handler:

SmartGWT ComboBoxItem - item in Combo is not marked in the pick list

I'm using ComboBoxItem(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.fields.ComboBoxItem). My question is how to force it to mark, hilight selected value in a pick list?
It is demonstrated in the SmartGWT showcase, Combo with a Label "A simple ComboBoxItem" http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#styled_combobox_category.
'Mouse' item is in the combo, however in the pick list 'Cat' item is selected - not as I would expect - a 'Mouse'.
Thanks in advance,
emph
You can't. ComboBoxItem's PickList object (the drop down list), always moves its cursor (the selection marker) at the top of the list, or the first element that will be selected based on the user's input. If you want the cursor to show the selected value, use the SelectedItem instead, in the same way you use the ComboBoxItem. One drawback with this, is the fact that you can't type and have the auto-complete effect. However, if you type after you open the PickList for the SelectItem, the cursor will move to a matching option.

How to create Combobox with multiselect capability?

How to create a Combobox having Multiselect Capability using Jquery?
Does JQuery Combobox has this functionality or Property?
if it helps, take a look http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/ for multi select values
Edited : I found one more link it's really great http://tameraydin.github.io/jquery-easyselect/
Combobox displays the selected value when its list of options is collapsed. You may want to use multiple selection list.
to use multiple select in combobox you will have to create your own user control using checked listbox, textbox and a button.
and on click of button just make checked list box visible and let the user select items from that checkedListBox and as user select items on it you take those values and concatenate it in textbox with comma seperated. and then again on click on button hide that list box.
