Listbox problems

[StefanPendl]

• there is no reload() method
  
• select() seems not to work
  
• selection() always returns zero
  

    dim state$(60)
    dim alist$(70)

    alist$(1)="Select 3 digit zip code"
    state$(1)="Select State"

    for n = 1 to 59
        state$(n+1)="State ";n
    next

    StateIndex = 10

[start]
    cls
    listbox #abox, state$(),1
    button #abut,"GO",[populate]

    listbox #bbox,alist$(),1
    button #bbut,"show me",[start]

    #abox select(StateIndex)

    wait

[populate]
    print
    StateIndex = #abox selection()
    print StateIndex; " ... "; state$(StateIndex)

    for n = 1 to 69
        alist$(n+1)="ZIP ";n
    next
    'goto [start]
    wait

Select doesn't work? Sure it does.

Straight from the help file:

 dim colorChoices$(2)
 colorChoices$(0) = "red"
 colorChoices$(1) = "green"
 colorChoices$(2) = "blue"

 listbox #colors1, colorChoices$(), 3
 #colors1 select("red")
 listbox #colors2, colorChoices$(), 3
 #colors2 select("green")
 listbox #colors3, colorChoices$(), 3
 #colors3 select("blue")
 wait

There is no reload method? Not a bug exactly.

The selection() method is broken, as you say.

The help file tells me the following:

#handle SELECT(n) - Set the current selection to be the nth item.

It is not telling one that you need to use the string value.

Sure the RELOAD() method is just missing, which is not a bug, I was just including it, since it would be a very good feature.
