SelectionChangeCommitted doesn’t run

[fiaolle]

Hi
When a user chooses an item in a combobox by clicking the item the event SelectionChangeCommitted runs, but if a user chooses an item by writing the item (I'm using findstring) the event doesn't run. Is there a way I can make that happen.

Please help me.

Use the SelectedIndexChanged event instead.

Think about what these events are for. The SelectionChangeCommitted event is raised when the user changes the selected item. If you're setting the selected item yourself then it makes complete sense that the SelectionChangeCommitted event is not raised. If you want to be notified whenever the SelectedIndex changes than, as dom suggests, you need to handle the event that is raised under those circumstances.

Are you sure that you want to allow the user to enter values that are not in the list? If not then you need to set the DropDownStyle property to DropDownList, which prevents the user entering a value that is not in the list.

I have a DataGrid with ComboBox columns. I want the same thing to happen as when a user clicks and chooses an item in the ComboBox. When a user stands in the last row (new row) and clicks for choosing an item, a new row appears beneath. I want the same thing to happen when a user types in what he wants and it's in the list, as what you can do in Access ComboBoxes, and when he leaves the ComboBox a new row appears. Is there a way to make that happen?


I have tried to explain my problem in so many questions; I hope I got it right this time.
