Update while typing for comboboxes ....

[manu.NET]

Hello,

When using comboboxes with "allowUndefinedString Flag" set to true, it should be nice to be abble 

to catch an event during typing ... and before the control validation.

So it could be possible to analyse the typed string ... during writing ... in order to made string check ... enabling or disabling buttons ... etc ...

In string controls you can set Update Value while Typing in the context menu. A combobox only has this as a property in the property node. It should be added to the context menu.

But setting this property has some drawbacks:

 * You do not know when the value is final (the user hited enter or clicked into another control)

 * Editing the value can no longer be canceled by escape

Using the the key down event combined with the combo box property Text.Text sounds better:

Thank you shb,

Your solution "key down + combobox.text" works fine !
