VB6 Combo Box Change Event
When user selects an item in a combo box, I would like to respond with a subroutine that does something with the new choice.
I put a break in the code written under subroutine "ComboBox_Change", but the program doesn't seem to call that subroutine when a new selection is made in the combo box.
I've temporarily installed a "GO" command button and put the code there, but that requires the user to do one extra mouse click.
The action should take place whenever a new selection is made in the combo box itself.
What am I missing here?

Try the Click event.

But there are two clicks.
First, to get the drop-down of the items.
Second, to select the item.
Anyway, I'm curious. What event actually triggers the "change" event?
