[SOLVED] TComboBox Events
« on: January 19, 2023, 10:06:04 pm »
It's hard for me to imagine one wld mirror the other, so I'm wondering what the difference is between TComboBox.OnChange and .OnSelect?

OnChange = gets fired when the text of the combobox change
OnSelect = gets fired when ItemIndex change

You are welcome and another advice, if not already done, is to activate the hints, they are really helpful and tell you what does what, a micro life saver you can say.
(or was it the information box... idk... i activate all  :P )

First image show you where to activate, at least on my Lazarus installation I did it that way.
Second image show what happen when you than click on a property/method/whatsever, in that case, the OnSelect from the combobox :-]

I was just hovering over the control, as well as going to the events part as well.

Me was also unknowing, just found out by accidently reading some threads in here, I do love that feature even if I have no clue about how I can fill that box with my own info when I create components...
I should put my eyes on documention to find out  :D
