clear combobox by tombotxp on 06-26-2006 at 12:51 PM

Is it possible to clear a whole combobox? The following code doesn't work!

code:
function ClearCombobox(){
for (i=0; i < window.Combo_GetCount("combobox"); i++){
window.Combo_RemoveItem("combobox", i);
}

}

Well firstly make sure that window is a declared variable and has taken on the PlusWnd type.

so

code:
var window = CreateWnd("file.xml", "wndwindow");

I would suggest doing something like this

code:
funciton ClearComboBox(Wnd, sControlId){
for (var i=0; Wnd.Combo_GetCount(sControlId)-1; i++){
Wnd.Combo_RemoteItem(sControlId, i);
}
}

Then to use it you use:

code:
ClearComboBox(Window, "combobox");

Oops duh!

Sorry about that

of course it doesnt ... as you remove one the index changes!

just change

code:
window.Combo_RemoveItem("combobox", i);

code:
window.Combo_RemoveItem("combobox", 0);
