Here is my form:
The combo boxes labeled "Front/Back Color" are the problem
I am having a problem getting my combox boxes to trigger my onChange event. The onChange event simply .Activate()s the next combo box on my form. The combo boxes are dynamically populated buy a function called in my OnArrive event
Here's the function:
The line in blue is where I set my combo box list. I'm not sure if it's proper to add a chr(13)+chr(10) as the first item in the list... could this have anything to do with the problem??
-- The first time you select a color from any of the combo boxes in EITHER "Front Colors" OR "Back Colors" you will see ALL of the colors in the dropdown list.
-- After you select the first color it should be removed from the list for the next dropdown box.
-- The idea is that the user shouldn't be able to select the same color twice for "Front Colors" OR "Back Colors".
The problem can be repeated if you:
1. open the OConfirm_Form
2. click on the 3rd tab (Piece Description)
3. click on the Add button
4. Select a color from the top combo box under the label "Front Colors"
5. Select a color from the combo box below the first selection.
-- The very first item in the combo box list is a blank.
6. Change the first (or second) combo box to the blank.
-- Most of the time the OnChange event won't fire.
-- The problem can occur on ANY of the combo boxes under "Front Colors" or "Back Colors".
-- When the onChange event doesn't fire if you try to change the color you just set to blank back to the color it was before you "blanked" it, the list will not have been refreshed. This "Refreshing" occurs in the OnArrive event of each combo box.
If anybody has any insight as to why this is happening I would be eternally grateful! Thanks in advance!
