Hi
I have an item in a property grid that is a list of options, when someone changes the option, I reset part of the grid (i.e. they select an action, and I populate required parameters). I do this by deleting the second item (not the first which is the action), and rebuilding it.
When using the keyboard, there are no events sent notifying change of the value when you use the up and down arrows. When you use the mouse there are. The user has to hit the enter key to get the selection to change and fire the event. Not great.
Also when making selections, sometimes focus is lost off the control, which then clears the help pane etc. And sometimes it isn't. It shouldn't be.

Hi,
its designed - if you use keyboard it doesn't change value only text in edit. You need press Enter to accept or Escape to cancel it.

That is not the behaviour of a normal combo box. This will confuse users.
is there any other way I can get a notification that there is a different string showing in there?

you're right, but this is not really a normal combo box :)
Current behavior is correct for a propertylist dropdown though... things behave exactly the same way in Visual Studio.

maybe it's only me then that gets confused by it
there still seems to be a problem with losing focus on the selected in-place control though...
