user selection from the choice list</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>Every time the choice list's status changes, e.g. when the user opens or
closed the list or selects an item from the list, the client application is
informed through the <codeph>MCoeControlObserver</codeph> interface. </p>
<p>Notifications are received by the <codeph>HandleControlEventL</codeph> callback
function in the class <codeph>MCoeControlObserver</codeph>. The event is <codeph>EEventStateChanged</codeph>.</p>
<p>After receiving the event, the client application can use the choice list's <codeph>SelectedIndex</codeph> method
to request if the selection has changed. </p>
