Combobox Issue

Hi,

i have combobox, that i add a few items to by code when the form loads.

i have bound it to a bo and the bindingproperty: Text, aswell as setting PopulationType to "manual".

i want the user be able to select one of the pre-populated items, or enter text manually. then the bo shall save whatever is in the text-property.

However, after binding the combobox to the bo as described above, it no longer allows manuall text-input and only allows selecting a prepopulated text.

Could not find any property to re-enable manuall input either.

?

What is the DropDownStyle property set to on the combo box?  DropDownList will not allow text entry, so if it is set to that, change the property to DropDown instead. 

Also, if you are wanting to populate the list with the existing items, you'll need to set the PopulationType to BusinessObject and pouplate it with a fill method out of your BO.
