interference between events

steve64

I'm facing a strange interference between the usage of onSelect() event in comboboxes and onSelect() event in an entry widget in the same window. It seems that when selecting an item in a specific combobox, the event is triggered also for the entry. It's systematic but I can not provide the example being a specific proprietary application.

I will check this thanks you steve

I have tried to simulate the situation with the following program:


local win = ui.Window("ui.Combobox() constructor sample", "fixed", 320, 240)

local label = ui.Label(win, "Name : ", 80, 75)
local entry = ui.Entry(win, "", label.x + label.width + 8, label.y - 4, 100)

local combobox = ui.Combobox(win, {"Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"}, 110, 110)

function combobox:onSelect(item)
	ui.info("Welcome "..item.text.." !")
end

function entry:onSelect()
	ui.info("Welcome "..entry.text.." !")
end

win:show()

while win.visible do
	ui.update()
end```

If the entry field has the focus and then you click on the combobox, the onSelect() event of the entry field will fire. But this works everytime when the entry field loses the focus. In my opinion that has nothing to do with the combobox.
