Eric,

Thanks, I agree with your preference here and will stick to the break for this button. And, Yes I really like the flexibility of the switch structure.

Thanks again, I really appreciate your feedback on this.

Thanks, I knew about the behavior of the break and was more curious if there was a preferred method or 'correct' method. I assume then that you would definitely use the break. And yeah four chars to eleven is a point to consider.

I was thinking that break was important because of the possibility of matching more than one method and in hitting the default option. I was thinking that the exit switch ensured that we were done looking and to stop after the first found item. This would then skip any other matches.

But in a ComboBox there should/can be only one choice chosen from the menu button so there seems to be no need to continue after a case was found. But does this make the case (pun) for exit switch in a combobox?

As for me I always use break and I like switch structures flexibility and readability compared to conditional ones. You can write a list of cases (and I find it more clear that the use of 'or'), put a break or not and have a 'default' case that usually I reserve for errors handling.
In menuPick handlers switch is invaluable.
But sure, you know all that yet :-)

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
