This may just be a pipe dream... I've created an array of Win32::Comboboxes, and I want to have "one sub function to rule them all..." (heh heh... couldn't resist). Basically, this is what I'm talking about... 
foreach my $row (1..222){
    foreach my $col (1..5){
        if ($col =~ '1' && $account !~ $Sheet->Cells($row,$col)->{'Val
+ue'}){
            $account = $Sheet->Cells($row,$col)->{'Value'};
            @labels[$count] = $main->AddLabel(
                -text     => $account,
                -top    => $top,
                -left    => $left
            );
            $top += 15;

            @comboboxes[$count] = $main->AddCombobox(
                -name       => $account."ComboBox",
                    -top        => $top,
                    -left       => $left,
                    -width       => 125,
                    -height      => 150,
                    -tabstop     => 1,
                    -style         => WS_VISIBLE | 3 | WS_VSCROLL
            );
            $count += 1;
            $top += 25;
        }
        else {
            if ($col =~ '2'){
                $value = $Sheet->Cells($row,$col)->{'Value'};
                @comboboxes[$count-1]->InsertItem($value);
            }
        }     
    }
}

and I want to have a sub function for the change of ANY of the comboboxes.... something like... 

sub @comboboxes_Change{
    print "You changed somethin'.\n";
}

That doesn't work, obviously. If I hard code in a sub function with something that I KNOW will be valid, like "ACCOUNTNAMEComboBox_Change", then it works fine. Any thoughts? Josh Pavel
