[RESOLVED] ComboBox SelectionChangeCommitted + TAB key

[sgrya1]

Hi,

I want to handle the event only when a combox's value is committed.
Not when browsing through items using the arrow keys. (SelectedIndexChanged / SelectedValueChanged)

The problem is that SelectionChangeCommitted isn't triggered when finding an item and tabbing out of the control.

I think I worked it out.

    Dim ComboBoxValueChanged As Boolean = False
    Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectionChangeCommitted(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectionChangeCommitted
        ComboBoxValueChanged = False
        'Do Stuff
    End Sub
    Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedValueChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedValueChanged
        ComboBoxValueChanged = True
    End Sub
    Private Sub ComboBox1_PreviewKeyDown(sender As Object, e As PreviewKeyDownEventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.PreviewKeyDown
        If ComboBoxValueChanged And (e.KeyCode = Keys.Tab Or e.KeyCode = Keys.Escape) Then
            ComboBox1_SelectionChangeCommitted(sender, e)
        End If
    End Sub

That's a contradiction, because the value IS committed when browsing through items using the arrow keys.
