putting new list of items in listbox

[sandyrepope]

In my script I have a listbox with a list of items. I need to let the script put a new list of items in the listbox. I know how to clear the old list but I can't get the new list to be entered in the listbox.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Sandy

I am really embarrassed.... I figured out the answer but only after I posted my question.

All I had to do is use the listbox reset to clear the old list and then use a loop and listbox add to put the new list in. It works just as I needed it to.

Sorry about posting too soon. I just hope this information is useful to someone.

Thanks

No problem Sandy,

the most simple problems can confuse at first sight sometimes :)

Huuu Sandy, your problem let me think that a new function for LISTBOX and COMBOBOX is needed.

We have:
CONTROL ADD LISTBOX/COMBOBOX ... to add a control and pass an array of items
COMBOBOX/LISTBOX RESET ... to delete the full list
... ADD and DELETE commands to add or delete a single item from the list of items

but ...
no functions to REPLACE the full list with one simple call.

I will think about that.

I've changed LISTBOX / COMBOBOX RESET in order to accept a new array of items to replace current one.
So next thinBasic preview will have the following:



LISTBOX RESET hWnd, ctrlID [, NewStringArray()]
COMBOBOX RESET hWnd, ctrlID [, NewStringArray()]


where NewStringArray() is an optional parameter indicating a new array of elements to be loaded instead of current list of items.

LISTBOX RESET hWnd, ctrlID [, NewStringArray()]
COMBOBOX RESET hWnd, ctrlID [, NewStringArray()]
These two commands will be a big help! ;D They are appreciated!

Thanks

Something to suggest to Power Basic ;)
