Stored procedures
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.
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).
Remark: The initial content of List Box or Combo Box controls can be programmatically modified if they are in a Looper control.
Important: A Looper control is used to create an 'Initial content' attribute on a Combo Box 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
// Clears the list and restores its initial content
ListDeleteAll(LIST_List1)
ListAdd(LIST_List1, LIST_List1.InitialContent)
