I have several combo box instances in a frame. When an object from one has been selected, the combobox doesn’t “unselect”, and if I use another combobox in the same frame, this doesnt unselect upon making a selectipon, and also the first combobox stays selected. This does only pose a problem when users are using the cursor keys to skip thru options.

Does something like [color=Red] **myComboBox.selected = false** [/color] exist?
