Missing combo box event

[Crisps]

I have an event handler that is called whenever I change the value of a DropDownList style of combo box;

This occurs perfectly when I change it with the mouse or when I change it programatically (on file open in this case)

My problem is that when I want to clear the value of the combo box and use that event to clear all the lists associated with it the event is not called. (e.g. on file new)

i.e. "MyCombo.SelectedIndex = -1;" doesn't cause the "MyCombo_SelectedIndexChanged" event to be fired.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a mistake in the C# API? Changing the Selected index to ANYTHING should cause this event, otherwise they should rename the event to "SelectedIndexChangedToPositive"

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks,

Try capturing the SelectedValueChanged event and then set your value based on the new SelectedIndex.

ComboBoxes are functionally dumb controls.
