O.P. clear combobox
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);
    }

}

RE: clear combobox
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!

RE: clear combobox
of course it doesnt ... as you remove one the index changes!

just change

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


to

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