Step through it in the debugger. As I said, the ComboBox is pretty funky and it will change things seemingly on it's own. You *do* have your own subclass for this, right? You'll most likely need some more code somewhere in there to handle this better. I don't know where exactly you're encountering this problem, but it partly has to do with the BindingContext's position changing. We've put code in our base classes to unbind and rebind all controls (not all controls need this and so they have empty methods, but the combo definitely needs it) and call those whenever we manually change the BindingContext position ... I don't know if that's the situation you're encountering now, but it's something for you to keep in mind.
