Hello,

I created a simple ComboBox with the values A, B, C, D, E in it.
I have also added a ModifyListener and an ISelectionChangeListener to it.

To my surprise, these two listeners were notified even if the selection did not actually change in the ComboBox. For example, assuming that the current selection was B, if I opened up the ComboBox and selected B again, both of the listeners were called back!

Is there any way to ensure that the listeners are only notified when the content of the ComboBox actually changes? The ComboBox was created with the SWT.DROP_DOWN style because I wanted to allow the user to edit the combo.

Best regards,
Levente

Dude, come on, I just tested it, and it only notifies the listener when the selection index changes (i.e., the selection listener does not get notified if you select the same index within the Combo).

final Combo combo = new Combo(parent, SWT.DROP_DOWN);
combo.setItems(new String [] {"Test1", "Test2", "Test3"});
combo.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
	@Override
	public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
		System.out.println("Selection: " + combo.getItem(combo.getSelectionIndex()));
	}
});

BTW, I'm using "Combo" not "ComboBox". I don't know where you're getting the "ComboBox" widget from.
