B4J Code Snippet ChoiceBox Focus behavior

At the present setting, the choiceBox does not open the choice list when it gets the focus by keyboard tab unless one would press the spacebar.
This simple code snippet would change this behavior to open the choice list and hopefully spare an extra move :) .
B4X:
    '
    '
    '
    MainForm = Form1
    MainForm.RootPane.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    cb.Initialize("cbEvent")
    Dim L As List
    L.Initialize
    L.AddAll(Array As String("value1", "value2","value3", "value4","value5", "value6"))
    cb.Items.AddAll(L)
   
 
    Dim e As Object = cb.As(JavaObject).CreateEvent("javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener", "cbFocusChange", False)
    cb.As(JavaObject).RunMethodJO("focusedProperty",Null).RunMethod("addListener", Array(e))
 
    cb.Visible=True
    MainForm.RootPane.AddNode(cb,200,20,200,40)
    MainForm.Show
    '
    '

Private Sub CbFocusChange_Event(MethodName As String, Args() As Object)
 
    If MethodName="changed" Then
        Dim data As String= Args(0).As(String)
        Dim focusStatus As Boolean=data.SubString2(data.IndexOf("value:") + 7,data.Length-1).Trim
        If focusStatus=True Then
            cb.RequestFocus
            cb.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("show",Null)
        Else
            cb.HideChoices
            cb.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("hide",Null)
          
        End If
      
    End If
  
End Sub
