Combobox hover triggers SelectedIndex change?

[robertybob]

Hi

I have a combobox on a form that has a timer that has to use the combobox selectedindex at regular, frequent intervals.

It seems when I hover the mouse over the combobox list (ie to make my decision) the timer uses the item I'm hovering over as the selectedIndex instead of the actual SELECTED Index.

How do I prevent this behaviour?

At the moment I am using SelectionChange Committed to trigger the selectedIndex of the combobox to be stored as the Tag. Then use the Tag value when needed.

Is there a more obvious way or a more foolproof way?

Thanks!

I decided to just keep it as renaming the tag and referencing that - seems the only answer and works ok
