How to handle an event for a combobox

Developers
1

Hello! Friends, I have two comboboxes. I would like the second drop-down list to change depending on the choice of value in the first. The selection of dropdown lists is in one function. How can we make the code understand that having selected a value in the first list, we need to select another or change the list of the second combobox? I was told that for this it is necessary to launch an event for the combobox, but how to implement this technically?

Hi @TOXA240701 and welcome !

Subscribe event here

self._comboBoxType.SelectedIndexChanged += self.ComboBox1SelectedIndexChanged

and implement the DroppedDown property in the event-handling method

	def ComboBox1SelectedIndexChanged(self, sender, e):
		#print(sender.Name)
		self._cb.DroppedDown = True

Thanks a lot for the advice, c.poupin. But I’m still far from properly understanding how Winform works. If it’s not difficult for you, please tell me approximately where what needs to be replaced. My goal is to have a list of other content drop out of the second combo box when the first one is selected. I tried to apply your hint using the DropDown method, but I still didn’t understand where to enter the condition that will change the second list?..
I have options in the list for all categories, but I want to separate them so that only those that belong to the wall category are displayed for walls, and only those that correspond to them are displayed for doors. Sorry, maybe I asked the wrong question initially. The picture shows approximately

Hi,

I might be mistaken, but I believe the drop-down list is loaded when the winform first fires.

I don’t think you can ‘rebuild’ the 2nd drop down by using values from the first in the same winform?

I tend to handle this by having a 2nd winform, which takes the value from the drop down in the 1st winform and uses that to build the 2nd drop down list…

I hope that helps,

Mark

Thank you, Mark. I hoped that this could be done in one window for ease of review and selection. If this is not possible, I have no questions.

you need to clear and replace the DataSource of the second combobox

an example with 2 data tables (filtering the second data table with the value selected in the first combobox)

Very cool! I see that it works and there is an option. I just can’t insert the data correctly(. If I change the belonging of the first combobox to my list, it gives one error, if I leave it as it was and change the second, then another error pops up with the same logs. It’s difficult to track what’s happening in the function def init(self ) and how do I substitute my lists if the functions cannot be checked with the standard dir() method. I’ll try to do something else, but I don’t know how to approach the code. This is a great task, but I’m still very far from its level. . Many thanks for your help!

I managed to replace the old lists with my own, and the name of the selected category appeared in the second combo box (I deleted it). But it turns out that I have a slightly different task - my lists from the second combo box will be of different lengths and will depend on the category. If I understand correctly, we define the second list in the first class function def init(self) and define the selected category later in the third function def ComboBoxTypeSelectedIndexChanged(self, sender, e)… So far the solution eludes me
