ComboBox - Selecting an item issues "RightClick"

[Michel_k17]

What am I doing wrong?

When selecting an item in a ComboBox, the EventID() function returns a 1 (RightClick) rather than a "Change".

Am I missing something? It's not a biggie since I can still do what I need, but it is just unexpected.

Thanks!

the combobox doesn't support EventType!
the message is a API message, not a PB_Constant value!

there's no EventID() function in Purebasic. I think you mean EventType().
If this is right, please look at ts-soft's message.

When selecting an item in a ComboBox, the EventID() function returns a 1 (RightClick) rather than a "Change".

You get PB messages as well as Windows API messages in the event loop.
In this case, you get an API notification [CBN_SELCHANGE].

Furthermore, #CBN_SELCHANGE = 1 = #PB_EventType_RightClick = a lot of other constants.

You are right. Yes: I meant "EventType()".

And upon reading the help file more closely - The Combobox is not listed as a supported gadget. So, #CBN_SELCHANGE it is!

Thanks to all of you for solving the mystery for me!
