Simple Question
Wednesday, August 9, 2006 by jlaj1989 | Discussion: DesktopX
Set frm = DesktopX.CreateForm
frm.AddPreference "Text1"
frm.Preference("Text1").Type = "ComboList"
frm.Preference("Text1").AddValue Like a command right here that will add everything in the Object Navigator.
frm.Prompt
Thanks
{EDIT} I found another example. When you choose the parent/owner, in the Summary tab. Thats what im talking about how can i have a pull down like that.

jlaj1989: I believe the addvalue command unfortunately adds only one entry at a time to your combobox. You could potentially set up a loop in which this command would be called multiple times but physically written in the code only once. This would just depend on how you are retrieving objects to be added into the combo box.

There's an example of for loops here:

The index variable that you use in the loop changes with each iteration, so this would be perfect when used to index into an array.

The pull downs in the Object Property menus are a bit more complex--they don't list themselves for example. But I think you could get a list using a For Each, and then decide if you want to read that into an array and then into your list, or just into the list directly.
Page 12 of the Scripting PDF describes DesktopX Enumerators. I had this pointed out to me once, and am thankful as they are extremely useful. We could read the Object.Names into a Combo-Box thusly:
Dim objElem For Each objElem In DesktopX.Objects Control.AddItem objElem.Name Next |
You'll have to figure out how and when to update the list, probably every time you open it, so that it always has all the latest objects listed.
