combobox.text

[Finn Stampe Mikkelsen]

Hi

I've encountered a strange problem. Strange in my mind anyway..

In my app, i use some comboboxes and fill them up from a table. After
filling, i put "Please Select" in the combobox.text property. This works
fine. I use the DropDownClosed event to handle selection in the box, after
which the routine filling up the comboboxes run again. The second time round
though, the text "Please Select" does not show and i'm puzzled as to why
this is...

Any idea??

You will need to add 'Please Select' each time after the Combo has been
re-filled.

Hi Jeff

I know that. The DropDownClosed call's the routine that originally did the
filling with "Please Select". Both situations do excactly the same thing,
since it's the same code running.
