B4J Question CheckComboBox - bug? [Solved - not a bug]

[GuyBooth]

Working with a CheckComboBox. I generated the event <controlname>_CheckedChanged from the Designer, and was getting some very strange errors when using the code:

Index = 1   ' for example
<ccbxname>.SetChecked(<ccbxname>.Items.IndexOf(index, True)

To check I was using the correct event name, I type Sub, space, Tab etc and had the same result.

I finally changed the "_CheckedChanged" to "_CheckChanged" to make it work [EDIT] except it didn't work because _CheckChanged never gets called.

The code you posted is incorrect

<ccbxname>.SetChecked(<ccbxname>.Items.IndexOf(index, True)

should be

<ccbxname>.SetChecked(<ccbxname>.Items.IndexOf(index), True)

but that could just be a typo when you posted it

The items in the control are basically just a list of strings

The <ccbxname>.Items.IndexOf(index) is looking for an item that matches
So if the items in your CheckedComboBox were
"one"
"two"
"three"
"four"

you could use <ccbxname>.Items.IndexOf("three") and get the index of the item with the value "three"

If you just want to set the second item checked then you could use (first item = 0)

index = 1
<ccbxname>.SetChecked(index,True)

Your code works as expected (after the typo correction) and does indeed call _CheckedChanged.

Your code works as expected (after the typo correction) and does indeed call _CheckedChanged.

Yes it was a typo, but all is not well with it. I tried to create a small project to demo, but the small project works fine. But here is what I have also found with my much larger project:

1. The error is only thrown in debug mode.
2. The _CheckedChanged sub appears to be called twice even though the SetChecked method is only called once.
3. It is only thrown if the _CheckedChange exists, and occurs even if there is no code in the _CheckedChanged sub. Remove (or comment out) the _CheckedChange sub and the error does not occur.
4. It doesn't make any difference whether the setting is to True or False
5. A "CheckAll" method just before the SetChecked method runs without throwing any errors.

Here is the code as written. I have simplified the offending statement for clarity:

Sub Setup_PGInitialData
    Log($"Setup_PGInitialData"$)
    ' … some Code not related to ccbx errors

    ' Clear the existing selections
'' This does NOT throw any errors:   
    ccbxMusicType.CheckAll(False)
Log("Setting ccbx selection")
    ' Add the new one
'' This throws errors in debug mode   
    ccbxMusicType.SetChecked(9, True)
' … Other code not related to the ccbx error:
Log("Ending sub")
End Sub
' This Is where the errors are thrown
' If this is commented out, no errors are thrown
Sub ccbxMusicType_CheckedChanged
    Log("CheckedChanged")
End Sub

When the code is run, in Debug mode I then get this (which I am led to believe I can ignore?):

Unexpected event (missing RaiseSynchronousEvents): ccbxmusictype_checkedchanged

with a string of other related error logs.
But THEN the logs show this:

Ending sub

and many more lines that appear to have no bearing on this.
at which point the program stops.
Interesting that the "Error occurred on line: 531" appears twice.
Does this provide any clues? The statement on Line 531 is End Sub (from the _CheckedChanged sub).

How many items are in the CheckComboBox? ( ccbxMusicType.Items.Size)

Edit: It doesn't seem to matter if you try and set or get a non-existent item, no error is generated.

Yes it does fire the event twice.

I cannot reproduce your error.

Are you sure nothing else is writing values to the CheckComboBox?

How many items are in the CheckComboBox? ( ccbxMusicType.Items.Size)

About 15 … but I think I have found the culprit.
The calling sub calls the Setup_PGInitialData but immediately follows with a Sleep(0) before calling for a progress bar update:

Setup_PGInitialData
Sleep(0)
dtmm.Show_Progress(pgbMB_Add, 100, True)

Removing the Sleep(0) fixes the problem.
