Exit Switch or break switch question

[Thomas McGrath III]

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
