as in:

onChange:test

not:

onchange:test()

I am getting the same problem, onblur works fine but onchange dosnt.

var wdgt.
comboBox : function (newDivId,putDivId,evtTriger,evtSend,URL,searchAt)
							{
							    dojo.require("dijit.form.ComboBox");
							    dojo.require("dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore");
								var e = document.createElement('INPUT');
									e.setAttribute('id',newDivId);
								document.getElementById(putDivId).appendChild(e);
								var store = newDivId + 'store';
									store = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({url: URL});
								var combo = new dijit.form.ComboBox({
									name:newDivId + 'cmbboxs',
									autoComplete:false,
									store: store,
//									'class':wClass,
									searchAttr:searchAt
								}, dojo.byId(newDivId));
								dojo.connect(dojo.byId(newDivId),evtTriger,evtSend);
							},
}

When I call this
wdgt.comboBox ('email','onpage','onchange','someFunction','http://www.xxx.com','SearchThing');
nothing happens, but if I use onblur it works fine. I think my trigger event is working because I can use onblure. Anyone know a solution?
Thanks,

Try:

labelFunc:yourfunction

You may want to use it instead of onChange. It fires when the displayed value changes, which seems to be what is needed.

It seems that I got the same problem on Firefox.
When declarative "dijit.form.FilteringSelect" is parsed by dojo, "onChange" and "labelFunc" are both called, and same thing when change is performed by the user.

labelFunc gets us one step closer....at least the very first time the user selects something from the dropDown, labelFunc fires off the associated function properly....but from my observations the value of the filteringSelect gets set AFTER labelFunc get called, so in the example provided above, that very first user change event returns a value of "", which of course isn't all that helpful...we need to know what the value of that filteringselect is AFTER the user has made that first (and subsequent) selection....

I've updated the example...if you paste this code and hook up your datastore URL to point to your states.json, make a selection, you'll see the problem I (we) are having....

So, as always, any suggestions, thoughts on this are greatly appreciated :)

Your code, edited (substitute your paths...):

so just to clarify....the "labelFunc" property in a programmatically created filteringSelect (and I assume a combobox) automatically passes the object associated with what is basically an onValueChange event to the specified function? I think an example of a programatically declared filteringSelect using the labelFunc would be a good thing to add into both the /dijit/form/tests/ and FilteringSelect page on the site would be very helpful to others like us!

Thanks so much for your help Frank!

Hi there,

I'm trying to use the labelFunc stuff mentioned above with the dijit.form.ComboBox - isn't this supposed to work there as well? onChange works for me with a ComboBox, but labelFunc does not seem to be called...

thanks, I was able to do what I wanted to do with the onChange method: I wanted to perform some special actions depending on the status of the properties of the selected dataStore item. I was able to access the properties of the selected dataStore item like this:

/**
* function that is called when the displayed value changes...
**/ 
function searchOnChange(){
  // id is (besides title) a field in my dataStore element
  alert("selected title"+searchFieldCombo.item.i.title+" id: "+searchFieldCombo.item.i.id);
  if (searchFieldCombo.item.i.id == 4711) doSomeThingSpecial();
}

var searchStore = new dojox.data.QueryReadStore({
	requestMethod : 'get',
	url : '/index.htm?listQuickSearchResults=listQuickSearchResults'
	});

var searchFieldCombo = 
    new dijit.form.ComboBox({
        searchAttr: 'title',
        store: searchStore,
        onChange: searchOnChange
    }, dojo.byId("searchField"));
