Combobox - SetValue based on selection

wxPython Users
1

Hello,

I have a combobox with a number of predefined items. When an item is chosen, I don't want that item itself to be set as value in the text field of the combobox, but a text *associated* with that item (using a dictionary). E.g. if item "1" is chosen, the text field should say "one". I tried EVT_COMBOBOX, but after my function is processed, the associated text is replaced by the selected item again in the text field of the combobox.

How can I solve this?

It will probably work if you set the selection after your event handler has completed. Using wxCallAfter will help.
