Hi,

I wonder if anyone can give me some pointers on a problem I'm having with
DBase Plus comboboxes.

At times I need to let users delete non-mandatory entries from comboboxes.

If I try to delete text from a combobox, the component displays nothing, the
onchange event fires but the original value is unchanged.

Is this a bug?

Thanks in advance,

Tony Martin

No. The value is still in the dataSource. You need to allow them to
delete values in the actual dataSource, and then refresh that.

Where are the values coming from? If a table, then simply bring up a
form (using a pushbutton) that allows them to add/edit/delete values in
the dataSource (or only delete, whatever), and then when that form
closes, refresh the dataSource for the combobox.

It was a bug that was fixed in the latest release. What release are you
using?
