I'm having a problem with dComboBox. I am writing a database app where
the items in the drop down list are a suggestion, but the user can also
type in whatever he wants.
I have given a Choices list but not a Keys list and set the ValueMode to
be String.
When the value in the database is not in the Choices list, it gives me
the "String must be present in the choices." error.

I looked through the code here and I can't seem to figure out a way to
show me and/or save the values that I type in but aren't in the list. In
the StringValue property of dControlitemMixin.py it states: "An
exception is raised if there is no position with matching text." which
seems to be the exact feature i am looking for.

Have I missed something?

Thanks
Sim
