combo box update

How do you get the value of a combo box as the operator scrolls thru the list with the arrow keys?  Combo box updates once the operator presses enter but I would like the value in real-time.

 

Thanks,

Paul

 

I have attached a very small example I am working with.  I need it to work with the event structure in order for it to be implemented into my current software.

Hi Novatronics,

You could try replacing it with a Dialog Ring?

See attached.

I tried your example Charlie but it did not seem to update until either a mouse click or the enter key is pressed.  My goal is for the event to fire every time the operator presses the arrow up or down.  I would like to know which item the operator is currently looking at as they scroll thro the list.

It is easily done if you can convert to a text ring.
