comboBox_SelectedIndexChanged

[Swami]

I have 3 comboBoxes and the selectedIndexChanged event for all three call the
same method (ShowCorrectDisplay())....basically, the UI elements change
depending on which element is selected. However, the problem is that when my
form initially loads, the initially selected index of only combo box is
important....but my code calls the the ShowCorrectDisplay() method 3 times
during initial form load even though that is unneccessary. Is there any way
to do a check if (!formLoad) then ShowCorrectDisplay()?

Thanks.

Sorry, just correcting a sentence:

However, the problem is that when my

form initially loads, the initially selected index of only ONE combo box is
important.

Here's what I do.

Don't connect the selectedIndexChanged event handlers until after form load.

Open up the section of code entitled:

#region Windows Form Designer generated code

Then find the statement

this.comboBox3.SelectedIndexChanged += new
System.EventHandler(this.comboBox3_SelectedIndexCh anged);

And comment it out...//

Then copy this same statement to the point in your form load, after
you've populated the comboboxes.
