    AHHHHHHHHH! Combo Boxes!

    Okay, I need to use the Combo_change event..

    However, the style of my Combo box is a Drop Down list, so people can just select the items, instead of editing them.

    The .locked property makes it so you can't change your selection, so I had to turn that off..

    What can I do if I need to trigger events in a combo_change event, but I don't want to let the users edit the combo?

    Well, set a combo box with a style = 3, (list box type)..

    Now, when a user changes his selection (maybe from index 0 to index 1), I want to be able to trigger an event.

    What can I do?

    Red face Strange

    Try this:
    .locked = false
    .style = 2

    and catch selections with the click, not with the change funtion

    I thought about the click event.. but it makes no sense..

    If they have to scroll down the list, the first click will be misinterpreted, won't it?

    hm

    yeah, could but you cant prevent that if you directly want to catch a change in the list. Then you would have to add a submit button or something like that.
