The Change event is fired if the drop-down portion of the control is visible, and the user clicks an item or presses the Enter key. The Change event is not fired if the control's Style property is Simple. Use the SelectionChange event  to notify your application that a new item is selected. Use the EditText property to get the caption of the edit inside the control's label. The Select property gets the value of selected item on a specified column, if the Style's property is DropDown or DropDownList. The SelectableItem property specifies whether the user can select an item.
