VB Controls, Combo Box Change Event Doesn't Work

Combo Box Change Event Doesn't Work

Author	Message
Gary Millwar #1 / 3	Combo Box Change Event Doesn't Work I have a Combo Box and a Text Box on a VB form, and I want to update the text box (or do anything else) when the combo box changes, but when I put an action (e.g., Text1.Text=Combo1.Text) into the combo box's Change event, nothing happens. I'm using VS6.0 SP3. What gives? Thanks for any pointers. I could find nothing cogent in the KnowledgeBase. Cheers, Gary Millward

Ken Halte #2 / 3	Combo Box Change Event Doesn't Work Use the combo's Click event instead...

Gary Millwar #3 / 3	Combo Box Change Event Doesn't Work Thanks, Ken - that's what I was after. The Change event, as I found out, is triggered when the text in the combobox text area is changed explicitly by the user typing in it, rather than through a selection from the drop-down. Shoulda thought to use the Click event.
