Hi All,
Please be patient with me, I started programming (exploring)
Revolution a few days ago. I'm not an inexperienced programmer,
nearly 30 years with C, Informix, SQL WIndows, PHP and a bit of VB.
But I'm still finding some of Revolutions syntax a bit strange. I
love it though and I hope to use it lots in the future.
I'm trying to fill the menu or list items of a ComboBox with items
selected from a database.
I've sorted out the database connection, opening the database,
executing the SQL that selects the data and then using a While -
Repeat loop to step through the dataset and displaying the data a
record at a time with answer. So far so good but how on earth do I
get this data into the ComboBox.
The best indication I found lurking in the description of the
ComboBox was to use the "Text" property.
I've trawled the email Archive back to last August and though I've
found a few ideas, which are going to be very helpful, nothing that
helps with this.
If anybody can help I would be most grateful
Dave,
Welcome to the Revolution!
Try:
put variableThatHasYourDataInIt into button "YourComboBox"
Supplying the proper variable name and button name, of course.
Regards,
Devin
