As far as i know TextChanged Event fires only when you press enter or tab key from keyboard.So after you select an item from history of textbox, try pressing enter and see if fires the event.

Solution 1

Use the KeyPress event. And put your calculations logic in a method. Call to the method in TextChanged and KeyPress.

Hope it helps.

The TextChanged event will be fired only, when the value of textbox will change and cursor will be removed from textbox(Make sure that autopostback property of textbox is <blue>true). This doesn't matters that from where you are picking the texts, it can be both from user keyboard or history.

Refer this for more info : MSDN : TextBox.TextChanged Event[^]

Try reading this[^] also.
