lbAdd problem with comboBox (help needed)

[R34P3R 11]

hey guys. i cant get my ComboBox filled :-(

Hope someone can help me because i cant find any error and also the game returns no error :-(

Thanks a Lot.

The Class:

class RscCombo { 
access = 0; // Control access (0 - ReadAndWrite, 1 - ReadAndCreate, 2 - ReadOnly, 3 - ReadOnlyVerified) 
idc = CT_COMBO; // Control identification (without it, the control won't be displayed) 
type = CT_COMBO; // Type is 4 
style = ST_LEFT + LB_TEXTURES; // Style default = 0; // Control selected by default (only one within a display can be used) 
blinkingPeriod = 0; // Time in which control will fade out and back in. Use 0 to disable the effect. 
x = 1 * GUI_GRID_CENTER_W + GUI_GRID_CENTER_X; // Horizontal coordinates 
y = 9 * GUI_GRID_CENTER_H + GUI_GRID_CENTER_Y; // Vertical coordinates 
w = 10 * GUI_GRID_CENTER_W; // Width 
h = 1 * GUI_GRID_CENTER_H; // Height 
colorBackground[] = {0.2,0.2,0.2,1}; // Fill color 
colorSelectBackground[] = {1,0.5,0,1}; // Selected item fill color 
sizeEx = 0.03; // Text size 
font = PuristaMedium; // Font from CfgFontFamilies 
shadow = 0; // Shadow (0 - none, 1 - N/A, 2 - black outline) 
colorText[] = {1,1,1,1}; // Text and frame color 
colorDisabled[] = {1,1,1,0.5}; // Disabled text color 
colorSelect[] = {1,1,1,1}; // Text selection color 
pictureColor[] = {1,0.5,0,1}; // Picture color 
pictureColorSelect[] = {1,1,1,1}; // Selected picture color 
pictureColorDisabled[] = {1,1,1,0.5}; // Disabled picture color 
tooltip = "CT_COMBO"; // Tooltip text 
tooltipColorShade[] = {0,0,0,1}; // Tooltip background color 
tooltipColorText[] = {1,1,1,1}; // Tooltip text color 
tooltipColorBox[] = {1,1,1,1}; // Tooltip frame color 
arrowEmpty = "\A3\ui_f\data\GUI\RscCommon\rsccombo\arrow_combo_ca.paa"; // Expand arrow 
arrowFull = "\A3\ui_f\data\GUI\RscCommon\rsccombo\arrow_combo_active_ca.paa"; // Collapse arrow 
wholeHeight = 5 * GUI_GRID_CENTER_H; // Maximum height of expanded box (including the control height) 
maxHistoryDelay = 1; // Time since last keyboard type search to reset it 
soundExpand[] = {"\A3\ui_f\data\sound\RscCombo\soundExpand",0.1,1}; // Sound played when the list is expanded 
soundCollapse[] = {"\A3\ui_f\data\sound\RscCombo\soundCollapse",0.1,1}; // Sound played when the list is collapsed 
soundSelect[] = {"\A3\ui_f\data\sound\RscCombo\soundSelect",0.1,1}; // Sound played when an item is selected 

class ComboScrollBar { 
	width = 0; // width of ComboScrollBar 
	height = 0; // height of ComboScrollBar 
	scrollSpeed = 0.01; // scrollSpeed of ComboScrollBar 
	arrowEmpty = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\scrollbar\arrowEmpty_ca.paa"; // Arrow 
	arrowFull = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\scrollbar\arrowFull_ca.paa"; // Arrow when clicked on 
	border = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\scrollbar\border_ca.paa"; // Slider background (stretched vertically) 
	thumb = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\scrollbar\thumb_ca.paa"; // Dragging element (stretched vertically) 
	color[] = {1,1,1,1}; // Scrollbar color 
}; 
};

The Dialog:

class test_dialog
{
idd=33993;
movingenable=false;

class controls 
{
	class RscCombo_2100: RscCombo
	{
		idc = 2100;
		x = 0.225;
		y = 0.1;
		w = 0.35;
		h = 0.04;
		onLBSelChanged = "systemChat str ['onLBSelChanged',_this]; false";
	};
};
};

The Call:

r3_ShowDialog = 
{
	createDialog "test_dialog";
	waitUntil {sleep 0.01; (!(isNull (findDisplay 33993)))};
	{lbAdd[2100,_x]} forEach ["Combo 1","Combo 2","Combo 3"];
	_index = lbAdd [2100, "TEST"];
};

No items will added to the Combo.

You are trying to lbadd to the IDCs, not the controls.

Try:

	r3_ShowDialog = 
{
	createDialog "test_dialog";
	waitUntil {sleep 0.01; (!(isNull (findDisplay 33993)))};
	{lbAdd[findDisplay 33993 displayctrl 2100,_x]} forEach ["Combo 1","Combo 2","Combo 3"];
	_index = lbAdd [findDisplay 33993 displayctrl 2100, "TEST"];
};

You cannot use suspension(ie. waitUntil) in a call statement, use spawn instead. What's happening is that your function runs up until that waitUntil statement, then it exits with an error. Furthermore, even if it was okay to use waitUntil, it's not okay to use sleep and the function would exit at nearly the same place. I'm surprised you're not getting an error message for that

Basically, your lbAdd commands never get run.

EDIT: @Senshi the syntax is correct, I'm quite certain the use of suspension is the culprit

[R34P3R 11]

I already spawning the function.

};

Have you tried what you're suggesting? Because BIKI says 1st param is idc and not control

Syntax:

Number = lbAdd [idc, text]

Parameters:

[idc, text]: Array

idc: Number of control

Do you not get the errors about missing params when execute createDialog "test_dialog"; OP?

Actually, I always did the bulky findidsplay displayctrl way for all kinds of control interactions (setcolor/setpicture, etc.), and it works fine. It was just now that I realized I made it more difficult than necessary ;) .

Apparently it works both ways.

[R34P3R 11]

 _index = lbAdd [findDisplay 33993 displayctrl 2100, "TEST"];

Ok i tryed it with the control but still no Items in the Combo :-(

@KZ thats the problem.. i dont get any errors ! Also checked the rpt file.

put this code after all the lbAdd commands you have, then run it again:

hint str (lbSize 2100);
systemChat str (lbSize 2100);

If it says 0, then they are indeed not being added to the combobox

Hmmmm the returned value is: 1
