TGComboBox value update?

ROOT
1

Sorry for the basic question here:
I have a couple of TGComboBox in my GUI. When I select an entry in one of them, I’d like to have the other one update automatically with the same value. I thought TGComboBox::Select() would work… as far as I can tell, the value may have correctly been selected, but the ComboBox doesn’t display the change. It’s like it is missing a TGComboBox::Update() like TCanvas::Update() after changes are made to a TCanvas. How do I force the update? Thanks in advance,

Fred

Below the snippet of code I use:

void SDGUI::EyeSelect(Int_t id){
(…)
// attempting to update value of both comboboxes with same id
fdEyeSelect->Select(id,kTRUE);
hyEyeSelect->Select(id,kTRUE);
}

Here is a (quick and dirty) example:

#include "TGFrame.h"
#include "TROOT.h"
#include "TGComboBox.h"
#include "TGTextEntry.h"

#include "Riostream.h"

TGComboBox *cb2;

void select(Int_t id)
{
   cb2->Select(id, kFALSE);
   // update the combo box text entry
   cb2->GetTextEntry()->SetText(cb2->GetSelectedEntry()->GetTitle());
   TGListBox *lb2 = cb2->GetListBox();
   // update the scroll bar position
   ((TGLBContainer *)lb2->GetContainer())->SetVsbPosition(lb2->GetSelected());
}

void test_combobox()
{
   TGMainFrame* mf = new TGMainFrame(gClient->GetRoot(), 200, 100, kHorizontalFrame);

   TGComboBox *cb = new TGComboBox(mf, "");
   mf->AddFrame(cb, new TGLayoutHints(kLHintsNormal, 5, 0, 5, 0));

   cb2 = new TGComboBox(mf, "");
   mf->AddFrame(cb2, new TGLayoutHints(kLHintsNormal, 5, 0, 5, 0));

   cb->Connect("Selected(Int_t)", 0, 0, "select(Int_t)");

   for (int i=0;i<100;++i) {
      cb->AddEntry(Form("Entry %d", i), i);
      cb2->AddEntry(Form("Entry %d", i), i);
   }
   cb->Resize(90, 20);
   cb2->Resize(90, 20);
   cb->Select(32, kTRUE);
   cb->GetTextEntry()->SetText(cb->GetSelectedEntry()->GetTitle());

   TGListBox *lb = cb->GetListBox();
   lb->Resize(lb->GetWidth(), 200);
   ((TGLBContainer *)lb->GetContainer())->SetVsbPosition(lb->GetSelected());

   mf->MapSubwindows();
   mf->Layout();
   mf->SetWindowName("TGComboBox Test");
   mf->SetIconName("TGComboBox Test");
   mf->SetClassHints("TGComboBox Test", "TGComboBox Test");
   mf->MapWindow();
}

Hello Bertrand. Works perfect. Would have never guessed how to do this. Thanks!
