Content (Property)

In french: Contenu

The Content property is used to read or write the whole content of a control:

List Box populated programmatically,
Combo Box populated programmatically,
Spreadsheet.

This allows you to read or write all the rows in the control in a single line of code.

Note: On a List Box control or a Combo Box control, it is only possible to read the list of items.

Example

// Adds elements to the current content of the List Box control
LIST_List1.Content = LIST_List1.Content + CR + "Tommy" + CR + "Emma"

n is int
// Add the row into the Table control (the Combo Box column being the 2nd one)
n = TableAddLine(TABLE_Table1, "1", "c2")
// Modify the content of the Combo Box column for the added row 
// Note: We use return values via gStoredValue, 
// therefore, this option must be enabled in the description of the column
TABLE_Table1.COL_ComboBox[n].Content = "computer 1" + gStoredValue("c1") + CR + ...
			"computer 2" + gStoredValue("c2")
