Trying to implement InitializeComboBox with the ValidationPanel object is not working as expected.

Question / Problem:

Trying to implement InitializeComboBox with the ValidationPanel object is not working as expected.

The code follows the script example exactly, yet it fails to populate the ComboBox. The ComboBox's Style property is set to Fill in Script.

The ComboBox properties for delimiters are default. The MsgBox functions display with the correct information, so the scripts are being fired and the expected values are set for the ComboboxItems string.

The project uses folders and the ComboBox is positioned on the folder's form. The event is connected to the folder script by selecting the ValidationPanel object, then selecting the InitializeComboBox procedure.

Answer / Solution:

The issue is that the ValidationForm_InitializeComboBox method does not appear to have any effect on the ComboBox itself.

The Behavior property is NOT set to Restricted Content, but is set to Free Content.

The workaround for this issue is to use the BeforeComboBoxDropDown method to populate the data for the ComboBox.

Only the ValidationForm_BeforeComboBoxDropDown method performs as expected.
