Not using a Combo Box object correctly...

[RGBreality]

Hey, folks!

Well, now that I understand how to use the "Filename" functionality of the Special object, I realize I must be having problems with how to properly use a Combo Box object correctly...

I have a Combo Box object which presently contains two listed items:

0: The title of the combo box
1: An item which the user can select

I set these items in the Combo Box object properties--not in the Event editor (such as when the frame loads).

When I have the frame load, I have the Combo Box object select the "0" item.

So, I have an event condition that if the "1" line item is selected from the Combo Box object, then a Web Control object is to open a local HTML file.

Except, of course, it's not working... The combo box items display properly, but when I select the second item (line item 1), nothing happens.

Since I apparently am using the Web Control object to open the HTML file (using a URL action), I must be using the Combo Box object incorrectly.

Any ideas where I've gone wrong?


Thanks!

Make sure that the combo box is set to a 0 based index, because that seems to be what you want.

Also you may want to debug it by setting a string or counter in the frame to the current selection of the combo box.

Hey, LB!

How do I set the combo box to a 0-based index?

In the properties, uncheck "1-based index".
