Attempt to detect when ComboBox value has been selected(Clicked) not highlighted with mouse pointer

[kevev]

I have a ComboBox that I am watching for change of selection with:
 

_GUICtrlComboBox_GetCurSel($MyCOMBO)

The issue is that when I click on the pulldown and any time the mouse pointer hovers over a selection the app thinks I have selected.

Is there any way to only detect the value when it has been clicked and is actually selected? Thank You in advance!  :)

post a sample code to replicate the issue

Also I would like to disable mouse wheel scrolling when pointer is over a specific ComboBox.

; Watch for bitrate change and kill FFMPEG if changed.
                If $FFMPEGIO_ffmpeg_SHOULD_BE_RUNNING = 1 Then
                        $sSelected_DESTINATION_COMBO_READ_ID = _GUICtrlComboBox_GetCurSel($iVIDEO_BITRATE_COMBO)
                        If $Running_sDESTINATION_COMBO_READ_ID <> $sSelected_DESTINATION_COMBO_READ_ID Then
                                $Running_sDESTINATION_COMBO_READ_ID = _GUICtrlComboBox_GetCurSel($iVIDEO_BITRATE_COMBO)
                                ConsoleWrite('Bitrate changed!' & @CRLF)
                                Call( "KILL_FFMPEG" )
                        EndIf
                EndIf
                sleep(100)

This is not a runnable code. If you want to watch for change of selection in a ComboBox look at _GUICtrlComboBox_Create() example in help file. Depending on your needs you can process $CBN_SELCHANGE or $CBN_EDITCHANGE messages received through WM_COMMAND.
