Select item in combobox with listindex? 1

[Paco75]

Hi,

im trying to select a specific item within a combobox using listindex on object init but the selected item does not change... it always stay to the first.

the command i used is:

thisform.comboboxObject.ListIndex = 6

any idea why it does not select the 6th item in combobox? Or if you know how to do it with indexes.

The RowSource of the combo box is a String like this "item1,item2,...,item6,item7

Have you set rowsourcetype to 1 (Value)?

This works for me:

_screen.addobject('combo','combobox')

With _screen.combo
  .rowsourcetype = 1 && Value
  .rowsource="i1,i2,i3"
  .listindex=2
  .visible = .t.
endwith

Bye, Olaf.

yes

Combobox.init

this.RowSourceType = 1
this.RowSource = strList
this.ListIndex = 6

maybe its something else later in program that reset the selected item... but i cant find why. I breaked trough all code line by line and i got no clue.

Found it there was a place with a hidden listindex=1

 

[Olaf Doschke]

Hidden? Was it a method in parent class?

 

[Paco75]

Well not really hidden
it was in a button event... about time the day end lol

If the list hasn't been fully populated yet, setting ListIndex to a value doesn't work. Try calling listbox.Requery() first.
