Question

I have a tab control with three tabs. The middle tab has a combobox which is bound to a database for its content. I would like to update other text fields based on the users selection from the combobox.

The problem i having is that in order to do that I used SelectionChangeCommited Event which fires as it should however, it also fires when I change Tab why is that and how can i make it stop?

Answer 1

You should use the SelectedIndexChanged event for the combobox.

    private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        label1.Text = comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
    }
