Need help with an error

[KutPax 0]

Heya,

I'm working on a GUI with a RscCombo box, only I'm getting an error.

This is my code:
 

_display displayAddEventhandler ["Unload", {
    params ["_display"];
    private _ctrlEdit13 = _display displayCtrl 6901;
    missionNamespace setVariable ["Snake_enteredText13", lbCurSel _ctrlEdit13, true];
}];

_ctrlEdit13 = _display displayCtrl 6901;
_ctrlEdit13 lbSetCurSel (missionNamespace getVariable ["Snake_enteredText13", ""]);

This is the error:

Error lbSetCurSel: Type String, expected number

 

If anyone knows a fix to this, please do let me know. I'd be very grateful!

you are giving lbSetCurSel a string, but it needs a number. number meas which combobox item is selected

The problem is I don't have a number. Any idea on how I can fix that?

So 0, default to the first thing in the combo.

see the getvariable default parameter here ("") :

 

_ctrlEdit13 lbSetCurSel (missionNamespace getVariable ["Snake_enteredText13", ""]);

change it to:

 

_ctrlEdit13 lbSetCurSel (missionNamespace getVariable ["Snake_enteredText13", 0]);

 

now zero is your default number
