Remarks

Cascading deletions

When deleting a set of elements, the elements found after each deleted element are moved. To perform cascading deletions, we advise you to start from the last element.
For example:
Index is int
FOR Index = LIST_CustomerList.Count() TO 1 STEP -1
LIST_CustomerList.Delete(Index)
END
WEBDEV - Browser code

Deleting an element on the browser

When deleting an element in browser code, this element is only deleted from the page displayed in the browser. In order for this element to be deleted from the server, <List Box>.Delete must be run on the server.
Calling <List Box>.Delete in browser code is useful when using AJAX technology, in "Programmed AJAX" mode (via AJAXExecute or AJAXExecuteAsynchronous).
Reminder: In "Automatic and immediate AJAX" mode, all you have to do is switch the server process containing <List Box>.Delete to automatic AJAX mode. That's it! No additional programming is required. For more details, see AJAX.

Miscellaneous

  • To delete an element from a Table control, use <Table>.Delete.
  • <List Box>.Delete can be used on a "Combo Box" table column.
