Unbound combos

I don't know how to build an unbound combo with preset values. I
currently use a (bound) combo to select a hyperlink address. Once
selected, a web browser navigates using a coded hyperlink.

Since it's a bound control, Outlook asks if I want to save changes (if
the combo value has changed). I want to avoid this by using an unbound
combo.


Any suggestions?

Use the AddItem to add rows one-by-one or the List method to set the rows to the value of an array. If you have a multi-column combo, then List is definitely the way to go, but I tend to use it all the time anyway.

Thanks, Sue! A follow-up...

I was using Item_CustomPropertyChange to detect an update on this bound
combo. With the combo now being unbound, how do I detect updates?

Thanks..

You use the control's Click event. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm#unbound.
