Is it possible to dynamically populate legacy combo box in legacy form?
Posted: 14 Jan 09 3:37 PM

There is a legacy form Add Account Screen where we want to add a combo box. We need to programmatically populate the
items in this combo box (long story but we need to issue a query to retrieve data from outside SLX and use those values as the items).
I have set the legacy form's WhenChange to a VB Script, and in that script used the application.form to get a reference as follows:
set frm = application.forms(i) ' where this is the forms(i).name which contains the combo box control
I can then see values of properties in the combo box, such as:
frm.cboControlName.Height
So I know that I am accessing the control, but there does not seem to be anyway in the VBScript to do something like:
frm.cboControlName.Items.Add("itemtext1")
...apparently because this is a LEGACY combo box control.
Does anyone know if it's possible do dynamically do this, or not? Thanks very much in advance. |

Sure... use a legacy script.
Here is a snippet of code (it had quite a bit of dust on it....)
sSQL is your query into your database. If it is external, then the call is something like DBOpenSQLFromDatabase... i don't remember the exact syntax.
dim hnd as long
dim iCnt as integer
dim sSQL as string
hnd = DBOpenSQL(sSQL, True)
DBMoveTo hnd, "Last"
iCnt = DBRecordCount(hnd)
DBMoveTo hnd, "First"
For i = 1 to iCnt
WithObject "Combobox"
ListAdd "Items", DBGetValue(hnd, "FieldName")
endObject
DBMoveTo hnd, "Next"
Next i
SetPropertyOf "Combobox", "Text", "(select)"
DBClose hnd
