RE: [vtcl-user] Can't get combo box insert command to work

[Birt, Jeffrey]

Alejandro,   Thanks.� I tried again using:   set somevar [ComboBox1 cget –text] set anothervar [ComboBox1 cget –values] append somevar “ “ $anothervar ComboBox1 configure –values $somevar   I think originally I was getting –values like this “set somevar [ComboBox1 configure –values] which returns something weird like ‘value value value {} {item1 item2 item3}.� Using –values as you suggested works great (as above).� I think I was going crazy trying to use the documented combobox commands which don’t seem to exist (someone correct me please if I’m wrong).� Ahh, the joys of learning new things.   Once again thanks,   Jeff Birt Electronics Engineer Integrated Systems Facility University of Missouri - Rolla 573.341.6058   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Birt, Jeffrey Sent: Friday, April 23, 2004 10:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [vtcl-user] Can't get combo box insert command to work     Yes, I’ve been able to use –value to put things into the combo box list.  I would like to be able to add to an existing combobox list (which is what the apparently non-existent insert command does).  I’ve tried reading –value into a variable, which returns a list, {item1 item2 item3}, so does this mean one has to parse this returned list and build a new list to save back to –value?
