Combo Box Tag Properties

The Combo Box's Tag properties allow you to assign Variables and the Items to be displayed.

To change the Tag properties, select the object and use the Movicon "Properties Window".

 

The Combo Box is a combination of a  "Display" and a  "ListBox" and, therefore, its Style properties are same described for those of both these objects.

 

EditBox-Display Variable

This property is described in the paragraph headed "Display Variables Properties".

Please keep in mind that when this variable is string type, it will contain the text of the selected item and when it is numeric type, it will contain the index number of the selected item. In this case, however, the text selected will be shown in the display while the index will be returned to the variable. The item's index starts from the "0" value.

 

When the display variable is string type, the text displayed and the text contained in the string will not change when the list of items associated to the object is changed.

When the display variable is numeric type, its value will not change when the object's list of items is changed but, instead, the displayed text will be changed with the new text according to the index contained in the display variable. If, however, the number of items in the list  is lower than the previous one and the index contained in the display variable value is higher than the number of new items, the display variable will retain the old index and the old text will remain shown in the display.
