Set editable=true. Later, if selectedIndex=-1, it is something not in the dataProvider and you can add it via dataProvider.addItem().

The user should be able to type into the combo box and, if what they type is not an item in the data provider, they should be asked if they would like to add the newly typed entry. If yes, the entry should be added (in my case, by dispatching an event that would cause a coldfusion call to happen). Any thoughts or examples out there on how to do this?
