It seems that the menu attached to a combobox doesn't support the use of a hidden tag value as other menus do. At least my attempts to use the tag syntax (/| - empty accelerator, pipe, and then tag text), did not result in a hidden tag value.

I've come up with a way to do it by putting the display values into the combobox button, and the values I want hidden into a custom property of the combobox, and then finding the proper value in the custom property, and using that in the menupick handler.

Is there a better* way?

Hi dglass,

in my opinion a "combo box" is more some kind of field than a "real" menu button
And you are right, the menu tagging scheme does not "stick" with conbo boxes, so your solution seems to be fine.

OK.
