Hi!

You code might not work because there are no such item in combobox or it does not match to the item you used for refresh. To your knowledge, combobox does EXACT match between value in the BoudColumn column in the list of combobox and the value in the data field or Value property. So when you added new value to the combobox list 'MyName' and assigned value to field char(25), 'MyName'==padr('MyName',25) is .F., so combobox show no value selected. The code posted by Gregory should be following:

m.nNewValue = ...
if( m.nNewValue <> eval(this.ControlSource) )
  replace (this.ControlSource) with m.nNewValue
  m.nNewValue = eval(this.ControlSource) && to get it in the exact matching format
  * add item AFTER that
  this.AddItem(m.nNewValue,...)
  this.ControlSource=this.ControlSource && preferred way to refresh the combobox
endif

In our app we forget about editable comboboxes and just call a special editing form for each 'editable' combobox. Now all our comboboxes are drop-down combo, but in the combobox class we added a form name to call when user right click on the combobox. This form allows edit the values in the combobox list. After form call combobox is requeried using simple call to combobox.Requery and than you can set the value to new value using the above universal way I described. This require the additional rule for programmers though - use Requery method only to populate combobox list from data if it is not based on array or view, and call it in the Init of the combobox.

HTH.

>For instance: this form appeared in a situs order (in case of one regim, in another case it would be in OwnerAddr order). When the user changes street, the current context is lost. I have to somehow save the current context. I'm still thinking about resolution of this problem.

>Yet another request: make a town field editable and make it as a combo for several regimes. Fine, I'm trying to implement it, but the result is very far from desirable... Just curious, did somebody use combos in a grid with ability to change value and it should update another field? It works when the combo looses focus, but not in InteractiveChange...

>I also got a weird class is in use problem with only one particular class. I didn't have it before :( I tried to clear class addringrid in commad window, which is doesn't help. I tried clear classlib addrstd.vcx, which doesn't help either. Only clear all works. What may cause this problem?
