PythonCard is not wxPython, it is a wrapper around wxPython, so it has 
its own naming conventions for events.

The event names you're looking for are 'select' and 'textUpdate'. These 
are documented at:

http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/framework/components/ComboBox.html

The most useful tool for seeing the events in your application is the 
Message Watcher. If you run your app with the -m command-line option or 
run with the debug menu and then select Message Watcher from the Debug 
menu it will show you all events. Events that you don't have event 
handlers defined for will be shown with parens ( ) around the event.
