Request a feature to open a Picker selection window ( as if we are clicking on the picker with a mouse ) #15001

Description

I would like to be able to simulate mouse click on a Picker, calling Focus() on it do not open the Picker selection window, I have to call the .Focus() and then press the Spacebar / Enter.

Public API Changes

picker.DroppedDown = true;

( UWP has this feature https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.combobox.droppeddown?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=windowsdesktop-7.0#System_Windows_Forms_ComboBox_DroppedDown )

Intended Use-Case

Imagine a POS App. ( Point of Sales )

A user can type in a keyword on an Entry, they can then press enter to perform a search, imagine that there are 5 items returned, I wish to show the picker selection window , where user can easily use a arrow up / down to Highlight a selection, and then press enter / spacebar to perform the selection.

When selection has been performed, I will then add the Item into the cashier.

Would it not make sense to simply behave the same way as before where simply calling Focus() would trigger the selection to popup? Especially if the actual picker is normally hidden from UI.
