Hello,
When I use the wxComboBox on my Solaris machine, if I highlight an item, but do not let go of the mouse button, EVT_COMBOBOX continously shoots off until I let go of the mouse button. EVT_TEXT only shoots off the first time an item is highlighted. I want a function to shoot off only when the user has highlighted an item and then let go of the mouse button to confirm the selection (like on Windows). I have wxPython2.4.1.2, does wxPython have the functionality I need in the new version, or is this the proper functionality for Unix?

Different platforms can sometimes behave differently for things like this.
One way you could get what you want is to start a timer in the EVT_COMBOBOX handler, and then restart it each time that handler is called again. Then when they are done finally done selecting the timer will expire and you can do your thing in that handler.

Thanks. For anyone else who might run into this problem, wxChoice does not
do the same thing, so one might think of using that instead.
