Well, if a user clicked the combobox but after looking at the list 
decides to select the entry that was selected already before he clicked it,
you get a clicked event, but no change occured, thats why I thought the 
changed event was for that, butit isn't as you pointed out.

Well you can store and compare both string values afterwards, as a work 
around.

Ok thanks.
