Having a similar problem here.
My first thoughts are:
Public Sub MyComboBox_Change()
Dim i As Integer
Dim bFound As Boolean = False
For i = 0 To MyComboBox.List.Count - 1
If MyComboBox.Text = Left(MyComboBox.List[i], Len(MyComboBox.Text)) Then
bFound = True
Exit
Else
bFound = False
Endif
Next
If bFound = False Then
Print "User typed something that is not in the list."
Endif
End
But that fires with the first character (and every other) that is not in the
list.
I guess it can't be done without the ComboBox_Leave() event?
If anyone has a better approach - please.
If I remember right, there was something like a 'NotInList' event for
ComboBoxes in VB, that's what I was looking for.
