RecipeName combo-box

RecipeName combo-box

Hello,
i'm searching for a similar problem in this forum but didn't find anything yet...
here what i would like to do:
> in a Recipe synoptic, i have implemented the RecipeName combo-box
> as soon as the user selects an entry from this combo-box, the Recipe values are loaded in the RecipeTable; but i need to get the recipe name selected, and put it in a string variable (for a later used)
> in this thread it is explained how to get this name:

BUT: to do this, an event is needed (here a left click event)
> i would like to do the same thing (get the recipe name selected in the combo-box) as soon as the selection is done, without any additional click event.
> this is possible to do with a "normal" combo-box, using the WithEvents control (i already use it). But i cannot use WithEvents with the Recipe combo-box.
with this code:
VBA Code:

Public WithEvents vList1 As ComboBox
Public Sub InitvList1()
If thisProject.vList1 Is Nothing Then
Set thisProject.vList1 = thisProject.DynPictures.Item("SynoRecipe").Elements.Item("RecipeNameList").AktiveX
End If
End Sub

when InitvList1 is executed, thisProject.vList1 stays null, and i don't get any error message. Then the events _Change is never set... It seems that the RecipeName combo-box is not really a combo-box...
If anybody has an idea, thanks a lot... ;)
