Sorry if this is a simple question, but how do I raise a SelectedValueChanged event on a toolstrip combobox? In the combobox properties I can see a list of events, but not the SelectedValueChanged event.

I need to trigger some code when a user changes the selected item, not when the combobox is clicked and the first item is selected automatically (a SelectedIndexChanged event)

Thanks

What I have tried:

C#

private void bxDEAL_SELECT_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) //need SelectedValueChanged here instead
{

// trigger code

}
C#

what is the problem in using SelectedIndexChanged event ?

1 solution

The ToolStripComboBox doesn't have a SelectedValue changed - it only has the SelectedIndexChanged event.
ToolStripComboBox Events (System.Windows.Forms)[^]
Even if it did, the first click would raise it in the same way that it raises an index change.
To avoid the "first call" if it's a problem, add a bool to your container class and check it in the event handler then reset it.
