Dropdown.onValueChanged

Description

A UnityEvent that is invoked when when a user has clicked one of the options in the dropdown list.

Use this to detect when a user selects one or more options in the Dropdown. Add a listener to perform an action when this UnityEvent detects a selection by the user. See the delegates tutorial for more information on delegates.

        //Add listener for when the value of the Dropdown changes, to take action
        m_Dropdown.onValueChanged.AddListener(delegate {
            DropdownValueChanged(m_Dropdown);

        //Initialise the Text to say the first value of the Dropdown
        m_Text.text = "First Value : " + m_Dropdown.value;
