[Gambas-user] Help with combobox loop please

[GuruLounge - MailLists]

You should really check online help for these things, maybe use the
search tab for "combobox" and see what you can use (I'm assuming HELP
for most Gambas versions is similar to Gambas 1.0.15 -- what I use).

Here's some info that might help you:

To loop thru a combo box do this...
DIM I AS Integer

	FOR I = 0 TO combobox.Count - 1
		PRINT I & "--" & combobox[I].Text
	NEXT
  
But if you just want to check for an existing item do this...

	PRINT cmblocation.Find("myitem")

This will return the index number of the item if it exists (0 thru
whatever), otherwise it returns -1.

HTH,
Jeff
