When the text in a combo box changes, there is a TextChagned event ;)
when the user changes the selected item, there is a SelectedItemChanged
event.
Oh, I see, I just had it spelled wrong :)
I've been this round. What I'm seeing is TextChanged is being triggered
with each character entered (or suggestion accepted) [which I can
understand as one might want to do something as each character is
entered...] What I'm now seeing in my mru is "D", "D:", "D:\", etc, not
exactly what I had in mind. However, what I want is to trigger <something>
when they press enter after all the path / folder name has been entered.
I thought that cbox.SelectionChangeCommitted would be invoked - but even
with a breakpoint on the first line, I don't see it getting fired. Any
ideas what I'm missing here?
.... and I'd really appreciate it if your reply wasn't 'stop wanting that!'
