I have a screen where a popupMenu is opened through the enter as a shortcut key. My problem is that I can not make the first option be pre-selected to be activated with an Enter. In short: I would like to display the popupMenu enter to "click" on the first popup item.
How to automatically select the first item in a PopupMenu

After some research and testing, I came up with the following solution. In event OnPopup insert code
keybd_event(VK_DOWN, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY, 0);
keybd_event(VK_DOWN, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
This code simulates pressing the "down arrow" by selecting the first item in the list. The first line "presses" the button and the second "release".

In your popupMenu add the code below in the onPopup event, that is, when you show popupMenu it will automatically select the first option:
PopupMenu1.Items[0].Click;
That way it gets more dynamic, no matter what the name of the method it will call in the first item, it is automatically clicked.
