How to exit edit mode (editable comboBox)?

Question

I have an editable comboBox. When a user clicks on the text
area, he can rename the text and the idea is to click outside the
comboBox to commit the new value.
The problem now is when the user clicks outside the comboBox,
the comboBox remains in edit mode(with the blinking prompt). How do
I make it get out of that mode?
thanks in advance

Hi,
setting comBox.editable=false in the function where you
commit the vaules will solve this purpose.
Also remember to set it in edit mode when click event on the
combobox happens
Ex.
<mx:ComboBox id="comBox" click="setMode()"/>
public function setMode():void{
comBox.editable=true;
I hope I have given you a direction to think upon.
Take care
