I created an example like you describe (I think - want to check this is
what you currently do). Resource file has just a single "Choice"
component called "Choice1" (oops - just noticed that I used selection
instead of stringSelection - but should be the same .... )

Then changed it by adding a variable (self.choice, which is initialized
to -1, and is set only when the "select" event happens. I think this
does what you want.
