The Things that Make Up this ExampleTo Execute this Example

This example shows a “smart” combo box which remembers the last 10 most popular things you input into it.

Example form S_232F allows you to enter and save employee details:



The employees’ names and the suburb in which they live are input via multiple instances of the reusable part S_232R. Each S_232R instance is a “smart” combo box which remembers the last 10 most popular things you input into it (even when form S_232F is closed down and restarted).

This type of processing, involving a simple entry field that remembers the values that you most commonly input is a very useful facility for your end users in many types of application.
