.... it's driving me crazy ...

I trying to make a zoom-combo like word :
I have my items:
10%
50%
100%
fit to page

and I want, after the user has selected "fit to page", to set the
combo text to a calculated value .

It's impossible !!!

private void cmbZoom_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,
System.EventArgs e)
{
int newtext=calcVal();
cmbZoom.Text=newtext.ToString() //after this point the new text is
set, and I can see it
} //at this point the old "fit to page" is come back.

thank you for any suggestion !!

Hi,

By Zoom, do you mean "blowing up" the items inside the ComboBox? If so,
how are you sizing the items (font size or ownerdraw or ?). Are you
certain you don't specify the zoom value at some point, effectively
overriding the user.
