Thanks, Randy, Ya I saw Abode's autocomplete text box (my attempt to use it as an itemEditor is in the link I posted), and it is the closest to what I'm desiring. I'm using it above the list instead of as the itemEditor, and you can type in the name, and it'll get added to the list when you hit enter. It might actually be more efficient for data entry this way too. But I'm curious whether you would be interested in sharing your combo-modded version(s)?
