To what Evan said about using an array property to hold the list, you can add the following to the lost focus (or valid) to deal with values that are not in the combo's list. You may also want to add something similar to the init to make sure the controlsource value gets put in the list.

** Make sure the display value is in the array
liOldValue = this.displayvalue
lnResult = 1

IF !EMPTY(THIS.DISPLAYVALUE)
	lnResult = ASCAN(THIS.aList, THIS.DISPLAYVALUE)
ENDIF

IF lnResult = 0
	** Typed value is not in list so add it.
	nNewListLen = ALEN(THIS.aList) + 1
	DIMENSION THIS.aList[ nNewListLen ]
	THIS.aList[ nNewListLen ] = THIS.DISPLAYVALUE
	ASORT(THIS.aList)
	THIS.DISPLAYVALUE = liOldValue
	THIS.VALUE = liOldValue
ENDIF

>Hi Tariq. Here are some ideas.
>
>1) Create your own combobox class. Add to this class an array property. In the init of your combo you can load the array using a select statment and then order the data any way you want.

>SELECT Accounting_unit.Accunit_name,Acc_code FROM accounting_unit order by 1 into this.cboArray

>You rowsourcetype would be set to an array and the rowsource would be this.cboArray

>If you change your combobox to a dropdown list then you won't have to worry about the user typing in values that are not in the combobox already. Of course, this is only valid if all accounts are in the combobox.

>>1).I want order on First Column so that the user can use Incrementalsearch.
>>2.)Some times User Enter the value by hand now, How to decide that the user entered the value by hand of select from list.
>>2). How to use Combo Array with Ascan() function to find the type value in list if i decide that the use entered the value by hand.
