I will file a bug report on your behalf. In the meantime, just catch SEL_COMMAND instead. Also, I'm pretty sure that you need to fix your call to FXComboBox.new. The third argument should be a reference to the target (an FXObject instance). In your case, it should probably just be nil: @cb = FXComboBox.new(self, 21, nil, 0, COMBOBOX_STATIC|FRAME_SUNKEN|FRAME_THICK|LAYOUT_RIGHT) { ... } Also, as fascinating as this must be for the readers of ruby-talk, you might want to consider posting FXRuby-specific stuff like this to the fxruby-users mailing list instead. Hope this helps, Lyle
