[DUG] DB Combo Boxes

[Eion McIntosh (Christchurch)]

I believe I have that but have found a number that most of the time the values are correct. Scrolling forward show most but when a blank appears, if I scroll to the next one and then back again, it then displays correctly. Dropping down the combobox also display the correct value but does not display it in the actual box. Also created a hidden label to put in a correct looked up value also the always makes the combobox display the correct entry and displaying the full list in a list box always highlights the correct entry.

I dont use the plain vanilla components, having fixed most problems in 
descendant controls a long time ago.  However, from fading memory I 
believe that in the changeevent of the first field you populate the 
second cbx and then set the text to what the value should be.  This 
aligns the guts correctly.
