Detailed Description

This interface exists to support the behavior for the 'Other' entry in some comboboxes, like the font point size combobox. The functionality is like so: Whenever you launch the application, if you open the font size dropdown, you'll see an entry named 'Other'. If you type in a point size value that's not a predefined value in the list(say, 13.3pt) and open the combobox, 'Other' is replaced by the new custom value. This is intented to make life easier for customers who use 1 weird value repeatedly. This functionality is built into the standard combobox, so if you add an item named 'Other' to your combobox list of initial strings, this will just work.
