At some point in my program the user must select one of N strings. N is variable, that is it can change during execution and thus strings can be added/removed. It is straightforward to implement a listbox to offer the user the selection, but I can't afford the space on the window, (let alone the fact that N is variable). Also it is desirable to have the most recet selection show as a one line text field. Are there any recommendations about what type of entity will better serve my purposes? I have looked through several of the examples around and couldn't find something similar. Any help will be appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------ Yiannis E.

It would give you the option of putting the most recent selection in the text field... -bruce
