Skipping the SelectedIndexCh anged event

[sandman]

I've got a combo box that has an event handler set for
SelectedIndexCh anged event. The problem is that it's
firing at startup when I load data from the Form_OnLoad
event. I tried setting a flag at startup and turning it
off at the end of the OnLoad function but the
SelectedIndexCh ange event gets called after OnLoad
finishes, so my flag is off. How can I get around this?
Is there another event that I can use to turn the flag
off? Or assign my SelectedIndexCh anged event handler there
instead of InitializeCompo nent?

Perhaps this is too simple of an answer, but is your
problem that you don't want the event to fire the first
time the form loads up? You can do that by checking for
ISPostBack:

void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsPostBack)
{
stuff you only want to do each time the form
is submitted;
...
}
else
{
Do the stuff you want to do when the page initially
loads...
...
)
}

You can also do the reverse... check for (!IsPostBack) if
you have code you only want to execute when the page
initially loads.

(again, I'm not sure if this is what you are asking for or
not...)

Delete the event - declaration (this.DropDown1 .SelectedIndexC hanged += new
System.EventHan dler...) from the InitalizeCompon tent() function, and add it
after the Loading of the DropDown

Never mind ... I found out what the problem is: there's a
bug in the tabcontrol (KnowledgeBase Article 820633) that
calls a bunch of ComboBox events including this one. So I
had to change the event handler code so it didn't cause
problems. Thanks for your help.

I moved the assignment to the Form_onLoad function but
that's not working either. The SelectedIndexCh ange event
still gets fired as soon as OnLoad finishes. All I'm
doing to load the combo box is fill a dataset (it's a
bound control), so what's causing the SelectedIndex to
change?

Delete the event - declaration(this.DropDown 1.SelectedIndex Changed += new

System.EventH andler...) from the InitalizeCompon tent()

function, and add it

after the Loading of the DropDown
