Avoiding click event ....

[Anand]

Hi Friends,


I am using a combobox, inwhich I filled out items. At the end when I set the listindex property of combo, automatically CLICK event is get fired. So my question is How I can avoid the click event to get fired, if I don't want for some time....


Thanx...

Hi,


I guess there is no way you can stop the click event from firing when you set listindex of a combobox. Only way is a work around.

Have a boolean member variable , something like m_bDontProcessClick


Just before you set the value of list index, set this flag to true : Like

m_bDontProcessClick = true

cmbMyCombo.ListIndex = i

m_bDontProcessClick = False ' <<-- Important LINE!


and in the click event, check for this flag and exit if true.

private sub cmbMyCombo_Click

if m_bDontProcessClick then exit sub

.... rest of the normal processing follows..

end sub


Be sure to reset the flag, otherwise your legitimate clicks also will not be processed!
