If you press Enter after typing/editing the combobox then the button event will fire which will let you do the appropriate processing, however if you type something in the combodrop/combobox and then TAB to another control or use the mouse to change the focus to another control (without pressing Enter), then as far as I can see no events are fired. So I think the answer to your question is no, but am happy to be corrected! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
