[Gambas-user] ComboBox: Detect if the button was clicked

[Matti]

Having a similar problem here.
My first thoughts are:

Public Sub MyComboBox_Change()
   Dim i As Integer
   Dim bFound As Boolean = False

   For i = 0 To MyComboBox.List.Count - 1
     If MyComboBox.Text = Left(MyComboBox.List[i], Len(MyComboBox.Text)) Then
       bFound = True
       Exit
     Else
       bFound = False
     Endif
   Next

   If bFound = False Then
     Print "User typed something that is not in the list."
   Endif

End

But that fires with the first character (and every other) that is not in the list.
I guess it can't be done without the ComboBox_Leave() event?

If anyone has a better approach - please.

If I remember right, there was something like a 'NotInList' event for ComboBoxes in VB, that's what I was looking for.
