I am using the ComboBoxEntry but I was still hoping for an answer to the
above query -- how to connect to the combo-list popup event. In my case,
I have a very large model which gets filtered based on other
EntryWidgets in my GUI -- currently I do the filtering when the focus
leaves the other widgets, but this isn't quite what I want because it
creates a confusing pause for some users (depending on the speed of
their system and size of the data their working with). It makes more
sense for that pause to happen when they click the little arrow on the
ComboBoxEntry and only then. Is there a way to connect to this event?
