Other Field for Comboboxes

[Chaz S]

Hello,

I use combo boxes for provide a convenient way to retrieve common used
data. However, sometimes the user must input data that is not in the
combo box. As of know, I just added "Other" to the list of values and
when that occurs it pops up an Panel with a text box. Is there an
easier way of accomplishing this?? This becomes very cumbersome to
keep track of where there are multiple combo boxes.

Thanks in advance.

Chaz,

One approach I've used is a LinkLabel instead of a Label that describes what
is in the combobox. Then when they click the link I open a dialog or
whatever.
