Hi Mastercoders, I am wanting to transfer values from a ini file into a combobox-list I am attaching my attempt Any better ideas I am Finaly getting the hang of Basic4PPC, being self schooled on BBC Basic back in the eighties, this event driven concept is new to me. Thanks for all your help Friedrich
Hi Softselect, I don't know if it's a really better idea, but I would change your code to: Code: ...FileOpen(c2,"ring.ini",cRead)ring=FileRead(c2)Do While ring <> EOF 'loop to read till end of file sizepick.Add(&ring) 'adds string of ring to list ring=FileRead(c2) 'Msgbox(ring,"value") 'used for debugLoop FileClose(c2)... so you don't need to exit the do...loop manually. specci48
Why do you add & before ring? Code: sizepick.Add(&ring) If you are working on the desktop you can set a breakpoint instead of using a msgbox.
