    What events on combo box when I click the list?

    What events to use when I want to select a list on the combo box and run a code.

    double click on the combo in your form, and it will open the changed property. you need to change that to the click property.
    Decide what you want to happen, and code it there.
    You can use the ListIndex property to determine what was clicked.

    Just to mention that the click event of the combo box will be fired when an item is changed, not matter if it's clicked, selected by the keyboard or changed by code.

    In the combobox? When the selected item is changed? The click event is fired... The changed event is fired when the text in the textbox part of the combo box is changed (if the style permits it). Come on Rob, you know better than that

    Is .Net getting to your head? With all that fancy SelectionChanged events and stuff like that?

    If you create an event for each, click and change, you can step through the code to see that if you click an item the click event fires and nothing else, no change event.

    What, brain fried from the exams.

    But that's what I said When the item changes, the _Click event is fired

    Nope, when you "click" on an item the "Click" event is fired and not "Changed" event.

    OK, replace the word changed with "selection is altered"

    Ok, how about "When an item is clicked upon".

    Not just clicked upon, cause the click event is fired when the selection is altered () either by clicking, keyboard (arrows) or code (listindex altered)
