No platform, type of application, UI library, language... how can you ever hope for an answer?

1. The combobox must have focus. Focus is changed with the TAB key. This is done by the OS.
2. Depending on the combobox, the ARROW keys and other keys are used to navigate the combobox. You probably will want to use the arrow keys. (UP/DOWN). This is also done by the OS.
3. ENTER selects the current index. Again, done by the OS.
4. Most comboboxes work on their own and you create event handlers for them. This is what seems to have you hung up.
