How about using a list box with a blank entry as the first entry?
For me it is important to be able to clear the field via the keyboard rather than using the mouse to select an entry from the drop down list. Ideally it would be the Del key but any key would do.
If a list entry has some text (rather than an empty string), then as one types in the beginning of the entry, the list control will auto-complete for you. So if your above "blank" entry was to be a space character entry, then what you suggest would work well from the keyboard. Ie just type a space and the space entry is auto-completed for you.
However, if your above "blank" entry was a null or empty string, there doesn't seem to be a key stroke that will auto-complete that entry, so you cannot select that entry from the keyboard.
For blank fields, I would prefer to store a null or empty string, rather than a space character.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
