easy one Again!

I hate this! In a combo box... I havent found the correct event for when you change the selected item.

Onchange will only be executed if you type.
Onlostfocus... will only be executed, of course, when the focus has been lost.

But I have seen programs that react to the action of just selecting another item from the list.

Thank you!

Use the Click event!

I believe it's the Click() event.

[Andreex]

No! I am sorry!

But the clic event is not executed when you select a different item. It is fired right when you clic the control...

[Joacim Andersson]

Are you talking about the standard combo box that comes with VB?
The Click event in that one is only fired when you select a new item in the list.

[Megatron]

It should work. Add this to a Form with a ComboBox.

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
    MsgBox "You select: " & Combo1.Text
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    
    For i = 0 To 10
        Combo1.AddItem "Item" & i
    Next i
    
End Sub

You are right.......................

You should use both the Change() and Click() events.

Just using the example above.

Private Sub Combo1_Change()
    Call Combo1_Click
End Sub

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
    MsgBox "You select: " & Combo1.Text
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    
    For i = 0 To 10
        Combo1.AddItem "Item" & i
    Next i
    
End Sub

OK!
