Please add a property (e.g., OpenOnFocus or AutoOpenOnEdit) to dropdown-based components (such as DropDownList, ComboBox, or inline grid editors) to automatically open the dropdown when the component gains focus or enters edit mode.

Why This Matters

In data-dense UIs — like inline grid editing, cutover task assignment, or status changes — users often need to:

• Quickly select from a known list, such as Status, Owner, or Type.
• Tab rapidly through form fields without needing extra clicks.
• Use keyboard-only navigation efficiently.
  

Currently, dropdowns often require an additional manual click to open — which slows down power users and disrupts workflows in editable grids.
