+ the final selection is accepted (things are quite interesting when it
+ is cancelled too):
+
+ A. Selecting with just the arrows without opening the dropdown:
+ 1. CBN_SELENDOK
+ 2. CBN_SELCHANGE
+
+ B. Opening dropdown with F4 and selecting with arrows:
+ 1. CBN_DROPDOWN
+ 2. many CBN_SELCHANGE while changing selection in the list
+ 3. CBN_SELENDOK
+ 4. CBN_CLOSEUP
+
+ C. Selecting with the mouse:
+ 1. CBN_DROPDOWN
+ -- no intermediate CBN_SELCHANGEs --
+ 2. CBN_SELENDOK
+ 3. CBN_CLOSEUP
+ 4. CBN_SELCHANGE
+
+ Admire the different order of messages in all of those cases, it must
+ surely have taken a lot of effort to Microsoft developers to achieve
+ such originality.
