Change in Combobox

General
1

When I look at the “events” after clicking a ComboBox… the only event is Open.
Why do I not see any other events like “Change”?

I need to detect when it changes and save the new value.

You may be running into the IDE Bug that doesn’t allow the events to show up after you add a new control. Try adding that one event then delete it. THen you should be able to see the real events.

I’m on Xojo and notice a + button on the right above the code/form view window… if I select the control, and hit + and then select Event Handler… I was able to add the Change event.

Is this the bug you are referring to or is this normal in Xojo?

I believe so yes. I am unsure if the bug ID but it is well known at this point since it happens to myself quite a bit.

I am not sure what “bug” you are talking about. You have to add events you want to every control in Xojo. The + is one way. IMHO. the easiest way is to right click on the control and then select “Event Handlers” from the contextual menu.

In Xojo 2014r1.1 when you add a new control and immediately try to add an event the events do not show.

Oh yes. That was not clear from the description. I find that if I save the project, I can then add events.
