[WIN] copy SIMPLE combo box selection into clipboard

Whoops,
I should have said,  (how) can I get an item selected in a SIMPLE combo box
copied into the clipboard?

The *simple* combo box otherwise works better for me, but because it has a
static
label at the top instead of an edit box (not noticeably, just functionally),
this may be why it doesn't copy from it, but I'd like to if I could.

But even if I try to use the *regular* combo box, what gets copied to the
clip
board is always one selection behind, except for when it first shows the
list (in other words, what I clicked on in the list portion *the time
before* is what gets copied to the clipboard, not what I clicked on *this*
time, except the first time the list shows, in which case the first element
gets auto copied, because I setIndex to 1 when the list portion of the combo
box was populated).
