Hi there,

I'm a newbie here, please bear with me for a sec and at least point me
in the right direction.  I am using VB4.0 and have a ComboBox control.  I
need some action to take place when the user changes the selection (with
mouse or keys) but don't know which event to use.  I tried
using the _change() event, with no luck, it didn't get called.
Is there something I have to do to make it work?  Or what's the
correct event to use?

Thanlks,

- Roberto

Use Click event ---

Use the Click Event and check the combo's ListIndex value to tell what was
Selected.

If you need to be able to tell if the value changed you should use a form
level variable to track the value of the ListIndex.

Option Explicit
Private lngLastSelected As Long

Private Sub Form_OnLoad()
        lngLastSelected = -1 'Nothing selected yet
End Sub

Private Sub cboMyCombo_Click()
        If lngLastSelected <> cboMyCombo.ListIndex Then   ' selection changed
                ' Do something
                lngLastSelected = cboMyCombo.ListIndex 'update the last selection
        End If
End Sub
