lb5-347 Combobox behaviour ******solved***************

[metro]

The help file for Lb4 states

The control is loaded from the array, and the first index used in the control is "1". No empty strings are loaded into the control, so only array items that contain text are loaded.

I get a blank record  first up (or no selection), should this default to selectindex(1)

list$(1)="one"
list$(2)="two"
list$(3)="three"



UpperLeftX = 100
     UpperLeftY =100

WindowWidth = 270 : WindowHeight = 100 + rows*12

combobox #tbl.list, list$(), [tblSel], 5, 35, 200, 50
open "Select a Table" for window as #tbl
wait
[tblSel]




tblName$ = #tbl.list selection$() ' what was selected

print "tblName:";tblName$

if tblName$ = "" then

notice "Table selected is MT"

''goto [getTbl]
end if
wait
[tblEx]
close#tbl

Hmmmmmmmmmmm it works with the correct syntax for Liberty BASIC 4.5.1


list$(1)="one"
list$(2)="two"
list$(3)="three"



UpperLeftX = 100
     UpperLeftY =100

WindowWidth = 270 : WindowHeight = 100 + rows*12

combobox #tbl.list,    list$(), [tblSel], 5, 35, 200, 50
open "Select a Table" for window as #tbl
wait




[tblSel]
#tbl.list "selection? tblNames$"
print tblNames$
wait

[tblEx]
close#tbl

I stand corrected, Rod the code you posted still gives me the same result. I then used the code from Lb4 help
and found it does work as it should.
I'm a little handicapped here using the lb5-347(win) version in wine on linux and you will see from the screenshot

it's difficult to read the code in the editor. I'll double check before I post next time.
