Not completely. 

The Click event is now raised:

- If the user chooses an item in the list.
- If the Index property is set.
- If the Text property is set.

NOTE #1: The Click event is raised when the Index or the Text property is set 
even if the new value is the same as the old one!

NOTE #2: The Click event is *not* raised if you set Index to -1, or if you set 
the Text property with something that is not present in the list contents.

NOTE #3: Apparently with gb.qt, the Click event is raised when the user 
selects the same item as the previously selected one. But not with gb.gtk! I'd 
like to force gb.gtk to behave the same, but didn't succeed.

NOTE #4: The Click event is never raised when the list contents is modified, 
by Add(), Remove(), Clear(), or by setting the List property.

So, now, you just initialize your ComboBox contents, and then either you 
initialize the related stuff by yourself, either everything is done in the 
Click event handler, and you have to set the Index property with the initial 
value just after.

I hope everything is clear now! :-)
