Re: [Pythoncard-users] How to programaticaly call an event handler (or force the event to occur programatically)

[Tony C. <cap...@gm...>]

I've got a combo box update event handler that is called when the user
makes a selection in the combo box.
When the event handler is called, other controls are updated accordingly.

However, this only occurs when the screen is visible, and the user
makes a selection.

During initialization, I want to select a default item in the combo
box, and I want the other controls to be updated accordingly, just as
if the user had made the selection. Sure, I can manually add code to
do this, but it seems like it's better to jsut use the built in event
handlers, and simulate a selection in the combo box, so I dont need to
duplicate the code which updates the other controls.

Does this explain the issue more clearly?

thanks
