Also would be easier to set these properties on the object before you add it:
oComboBox.Top = nTop ComboBox.Left = nLeft oComboBox.Visible = .T.

The 'name' is read only after the object is created. You have to name it when you create it, like you had in the commented out code:
toForm.AddObject("oComboBox", (cname))
Except don't put cName in (), because that will try to interpolate cName as a variable. And the parameters are reversed, it's name first and then object name.
So...
toForm.AddObject(cName, "oComboBox") && This should work

I have been trying to come up with simple code to let me generate and configure ComboBoxes in code. I have succeeded in creating one combo and controlling its top and left properties by passing parameters but when I try to pass in a name things don't work. Here is the procedures code in a file named Try:
- Procedure to create a form
PROCEDURE CreateForm PUBLIC oForm oForm = CREATEOBJECT("Form") oForm.Caption = "My Form" oForm.Show() ENDPROC
- Procedure to add a ComboBox to the form
PROCEDURE AddComboBoxToForm(toForm, nTop, nLeft, cname) LOCAL oComboBox oComboBox = CREATEOBJECT("ComboBox") oComboBox.AddItem("Item 1") oComboBox.AddItem("Item 2")
- toForm.AddObject("oComboBox", (cname)) toForm.oComboBox.name = cname toForm.oComboBox.Top = nTop toForm.oComboBox.Left = nLeft toForm.oComboBox.Visible = .T.
ENDPROC
The code that calls it in a file named Joe follows:
- Call the procedures from the first file
DO try && load the procedures
- Create a form
CreateForm()
- Add a ComboBox to the form at position (40, 40)
AddComboBoxToForm(oForm, 40, 40, "oComboBox1")
- Add a second ComboBox to the form at position (80, 80)
AddComboBoxToForm(oForm, 80, 80, "oComboBox2")
I have been working with CoPilot to generate the code but it keep telling me that I need to create a custom class using the visual tools. I would appreciate a second opinion from real experts!
Thanks in advance, Joe
