This may be a stupid question but I'm testing something and can't seem to make it work the way I want.

I have a form with SF combobox (DropDown)  bound to a BO. I am populating via business object.  Everything works fine except I want to be able to clear out the combobox value so a empty string is written to the bound field.

I can clear the value from the combo box but it doesn't seem to effect the business object. The original value still remains after I save. I typically don't use comboboxes for these types of things so I haven't run across this before.  I'm sure there is a easy way to make this work...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim

By default, the BindingProperty of a ComboBox is "SelectedValue" which will not change when you change the text... so when we bing to a ComboBox that is a DropDown instead of a DropDownList, we change the BindingProperty to "Text" and bind to the raw text that is typed into the ComboBox.  Try changing that and see if it gives you the desired effect.
