Hi Mike,
The problem you are having with the combo box is due to automatic data
detection. You should read the section titled Data Attribute Methods under
The Dialog Object chapter. Particularly the first couple of sections.
Problems with Data Attributes has this paragraph:
"With auto detection on, the states of the dialog controls are set to the
data (values) of the corresponding data attributes. This is done after
initDialog is invoked. The consequence of this is that, if the programmer
explicitly sets the state of the dialog controls in the initDialog()
method, the ooDialog framework will then reset the state of all the dialog
controls afterwards. This can be disconcerting to the programmer if
automatic data field detection is not understood."
It is no secret that I'm not overly fond of the whole concept of data
attributes. Automatic data detection is on by default. What you want to
do is turn it off. You can do that globaly for your whole application by
putting this statement towards the beginning of your program:
.application~autoDetection(.false)
Or you can turn it off on a per dialog basis by adding this method to a
dialog:
::method initAutoDetection
self~noAutoDetection
Basically, what is happening is that, in initDialog() you set the combo box
to select item 4, and then after that the framework sets the combo box back
to unselected.
