Does anyone know how to set the value of an editable combobox such
that it's *not* one of the current list items? I have the drop-down
filled with standard values, but want to be able to save and recover a
user entered value
cheers,
Greg

Whoops! That "4" should be a dollar sign ($).
Cheers,
David

Oh, alright. How about this:
PRO ComboWidgetTest_Event, event
Widget_Control, event.id, GET_UVALUE=defaultList
IF event.index EQ -1 THEN BEGIN
I = Where(StrUpCase(defaultList) EQ StrUpCase(event.str), count)
IF count EQ 0 THEN BEGIN
newList = [defaultList, event.str]
Widget_Control, event.id, SET_VALUE=newList
Widget_Control, event.id, 4
SET_COMBOBOX_SELECT=N_Elements(newList)-1
ENDIF
ENDIF ELSE BEGIN
IF event.index EQ N_Elements(defaultList) THEN RETURN
Widget_Control, event.id, SET_VALUE=defaultList
Widget_Control, event.id, SET_COMBOBOX_SELECT=event.index
ENDELSE
END
;----------------------------------------------------------- ------------
PRO ComboWidgetTest, newValue
IF N_Elements(newValue) EQ 0 THEN newValue = 'pig'
tlb = Widget_Base(/COLUMN, XOFFSET=150, YOFFSET=150)
defaultValues = ['dog', 'cow', 'coyote']
combo = Widget_Combobox(tlb, VALUE=[defaultValues, newValue], $
/EDIT, SCR_XSIZE=100, UVALUE=defaultValues)
Widget_Control, tlb, /REALIZE
Widget_Control, combo, Set_Combobox_Select = 3
XManager, 'combowidgettest', tlb, /NO_BLOCK
END
;----------------------------------------------------------- ------------
Cheers,
David
