Hi @ all
I use a ComboBoxGadget() and 12 different AddGadgetItem()... When i press with the mouse on the ComboBox, it will return a event; OK! But when i select any GadgetItem in this ComboBox i need to get a event too... I dont need GetGadgetState() for that... Is there any way?

Hope you understand my problem...!? Any idea how to solve this? Many thanks in advance...

Hi,

I posted a snippet in the 'Tips'n'tricks' section some time ago to solve that problem. I thought this had been fixed in some PB release, but it seems I'm wrong. In the meanwhile, I suggest you to take a look at the thread:

You have to do it with EventType like:

Code: Select all

;...
Case ComboBoxGadget#
  Select EventType()
    Case #PB_EventType_RightClick
      ;do something
  EndSelect
;....

don't know why, but for now (version 3.2) the event you need has the #PB_EventType_RightClick constant number.

This works for me, and I hope for you too...

Have a nice day...

True, I forgot to update that. Thanks

Updated but... #PB_EventRightClick doesn't get fired Â¿? Switched back to #WM_CONTEXTMENU until I/Fred fix this.

Hmm, I thought #PB_EventType_ReturnKey is the one that Fred wants to remove.

#PB_EventType_RightClick works, till now... (I use it for my PureBasic wrapper)

Hi,

Right-clicking does nothing. Left-clicking fires the #PB_EventType_RightClick event.

Using Windows XP (didn't work with Win 98 either), with all the updated libraries. What's happening here?

the EventType results in a RightClick event, but actually you are pressing ONLY THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON TWICE when you are choosing an item.

One left click and your combobox item window opens with 4 items.
Second left click and you choose an item.
Now you get an event (a #PB_EventType_RightClick event - don't ask me why!).

And like I said you will get this event although you NEVER press the Right Mouse Button.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough the first time.
Hope I am now.

My example works/tested on Win98SE and WinXP.

Have a nice day...

Ok, I misunderstood your snippet. So #PB_EventType_RightClick can be used to catch item selection. Well, that's great.

Thanks,
