Hello Jacques,

I just tested your code, I agree with you that the combobox event structure does
not always has INDEX = 2, regardless of which '2' in the menu choice I select.

I'm on ...
{ ppc darwin unix Mac OS X 6.0.3 Feb 26 2004 32 32}

I haven't used the combobox because it doesn't have the droplist's equivalent of

selectIndex = WIDGET_INFO(listID, /Droplist_Select)
