B4J Question ComboBox - How to add items?

[Jim Brown]

I am trying to figure out how to add or associate a list of items to a combox box but can't seem to figure this one out.
Having poured over the DBUtils example (which features combo boxes) I can't see how the lists are being linked to the combo boxes

Any pointers please?

For example:

cmb.Items.Add("Item 1")
cmb.Items.Add("Item 2")

Items property returns a List. In the case of DBUtils the list is passed to ExecuteList which then fills it.

Thanks Erel. Seeing the .Items popup help saying this was a read only field returning a list I did not realize it had sub properties.

I had some trouble with this as well. I found that if the combobox was added in the designer then do not initialize it in code. just use the events to trap changes. It should still be dimensioned however.
