Work with the ToolStripComboBox component

Question

A menu is installed on the form - the MenuStrip component, on this menu ToolStripComboBox is created. By clicking on any element of the ToolStripComboBox collection, the SelectedIndexChanged event is generated, some code is processed and the value of the selected element is assigned to the Text property of this ToolStripComboBox.

Question: how to make the code to be processed by clicking, but the Text property remains unchanged.

Like that:

/* На форме есть меню MenuStrip с именем: mGlv в ней создан элемент ToolStripComboBox - cmBx */ private void cmBx_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { /* По клику на одном из элементов коллекции срабатывает определённый код не важно какой. Далее - имя элемента коллекции cmBx, по которому кликнули переходит в заголовок данного cmBx, т.е. cmBx.Text приобретает значение имени выбранного элемента, а требуется чтобы заголовок cmBx т.е свойство cmBx.Text оставалось неизменным всегда */ }

I made the same form, picked it up and came to the conclusion that the only way here is to set the cmBx.Text property to the initial value manually after the completion of the code execution.

The question is poorly understood. Give an example code.

From what I understand, I advise you to add a line

 comboBox1.SelectedItem = null;

Or this:

 cls.frm2.comboBox1.SelectedText = null;

In the first case, the selection is removed from the combobox, and in the second, the text is simply removed (the first option includes the second).
