Hey Eric,
Thanks, I knew about the behavior of the break and was more curious if
there was a preferred method or 'correct' method. I assume then that
you would definitely use the break. And yeah four chars to eleven is a
point to consider.
I was thinking that break was important because of the possibility of
matching more than one method and in hitting the default option.
I was thinking that the exit switch ensured that we were done looking
and to stop after the first found item. This would then skip any other
matches.
But in a ComboBox there should/can be only one choice chosen from the
menu button so there seems to be no need to continue after a case was
found. But does this make the case (pun) for exit switch in a combobox?
Thanks
Tom
