Here's an example:

*~~ 01.15.99 nf 1: Added  .AND. ASC( this.displayvalue ) > 30 to beat the erroneous entry of a non-printable character when
*~~				   the list is closed via the down arrow.
IF TRIM(this.value) <> TRIM(this.displayValue) .AND. !EMPTY( this.displayValue ) .AND. ASC( this.displayvalue ) >= 30
	*!* Then we have a new value to add to the list
	this.additem( this.displayValue )
	
	REPLACE ( SUBSTR( this.controlSource, AT( '.', this.controlSource ) + 1 ) ) WITH this.DisplayValue IN ;
	        ( SUBSTR( this.controlSource, 1, AT( '.', this.controlSource ) - 1 ) )
ELSE
	RETURN .T.
