Good Evening Peter, > How can you customize the combobox to have a VALID feature to ensure a correct choice has been selected I am pasting help from style property of Combobox. Setting the style to 2 should solve the issue to a predetermined list. Regards Akshat style Topic group Related topics Specifies which parts of a combobox are usable and which parts are displayed automatically. Property of ComboBox Description Use style to determine how the user selects values in a combobox. The user selects a value from a combobox by entering initial characters in an entryfield or by selecting the value directly from the prompt list. The style property determines whether the entryfield accepts input, and how the prompt list is displayed. You can give Style one of three values: Style value Description 0 (Simple) The prompt list does not drop down, and there is no arrow button. The combobox height property determines how much of the prompt list is displayed (the default is no prompts, only the entryfield is displayed). If the combobox contains more prompts than can be displayed in the visible list portion, a scrollbar will appear. The user can select from the list or type in the entryfield. 1 (DropDown) The user has to click the arrow to display the drop-down list. The user can either type in the entryfield, or select from the list. 2 (DropDownList) The user has to click the arrow to display the drop-down list. The entryfield does not accept input; the user must choose from the list. Set autoDrop to true to make the prompt list drop automatically when a style 1 or 2 combobox gets focus. Pressing Alt+DownArrow when the combobox has focus also displays the drop-down list. | |
