The InitialContent property gets the initial content:
  • of a List Box control populated programmatically.
  • of a Combo Box control populated programmatically.
  • of a "List of values" column in a Table control.
  • WINDEV of a Spreadsheet control.
This initial content is defined:
  • in the control description ("General" tab of the List Box and Combo Box controls, or the "List of values" column).
  • WINDEV when initializing the Spreadsheet control in the window editor.
Note: It is also possible to modify the initial content of List or Combo Box controls by programming, if they are present in a RepeatString Looper control..
Important: A RepeatString Looper control can be used to create an 'Initial Content' attribute on a Combo or List Box control.. Therefore, the content of the List Box or Combo Box control can be different in each row of the looper.
Example
// Vide la liste et remet son contenu initial
ListDeleteAll(LISTE_Liste1)
ListAdd(LISTE_Liste1, LISTE_Liste1.ContenuInitial)
