Combo Box Click Event

If I'm not wrong, combo box click event must only triggered when the user
clicks on the combo box. But something unsual is happening with my code.

combo box click:
Private Sub cboTrack_Click()
'do something here
End Sub

Private Sub Example()
cboTrack.Text = cboTrack.List(0) '<========= 'I have a breakpoint
here
End Example

Whenever the control is done with;
cboTrack.Text = cboTrack.List(0) '<========= 'I have a breakpoint
here
it goes to combo box click event. But i haven't called it and have no
intension of doing it either.
Is there a way to stop VB to go to combo box click event ofcourse without
deleting the event itself?

Thanks,
Simon

That happens when the combo style is set to drop down list. You may need to put in a flag in the click event to process the following code or skip it.


option explicit
dim skipcombo as boolean

private sub cboTrack_click()
if skipcombo = true then 'skip the click event
exit sub
end if
'process this event if skipcombo = false
do something ...
do something else ...
end sub


Private Sub Example()
skipcombo = true
cboTrack.Text = cboTrack.List(0) '<========= 'I have a breakpoint
here
skipcombo = false
End sub
