RE: [ANNOUNCE] Tk-JComboBox 1.06

This is the module I've been looking for (I think). I want to use the
-autofind option but I have one request. Please add another autofind option
which would search m/any/ part of the string as opposed to just from the
m/^beginning/. I can think of numerous applications that I have written that
indeed search "within" the string.

I haven't tested it yet - but it sounds as if this module has the same
drawback (my word choice) as Tk::MatchEntry. If I give a reference to a
simple array as the -choices option, and then I change the array by adding
or deleting or what-have-you, does your module automatically see this? Or
must one reconfigure the widget? Are we forced to use your add and delete
methods thereafter?

Maybe I'm thinking of this all wrong. Even Tk::Optionmenu -options has to be
reconfigured if the list changes. Obviously - I *will* use your methods to
add and delete items if need be. But I guess I look at it this way; I'm
already adjusting the array in another part of my program and it would be
nice if the Combobox just "knew" about it.

One more thing: I'm curious as to the exact details of the bug with
grab/grabGlobal. I think you monitor c.l.p.t.? Just recently I posted a
work-in-progress which uses grabGlobal for a popup window. I would certainly
like to avoid any bugs if I can.
