Combobox 5.0.0.24

[Fred Tomke]

Hello,

I only want to know if this works as designed or not:

I have drawn an empty Combobox in DropDown style. When I add a list at runtime the list seems to be saved after closing. When calling the form outside my program using (dcl_form_show ...) the combobox is still filled with the latest list. I thought after (dcl_form_show ...) the dropdown must be empty?!  ??? I believe in further releases the combobox was empty by default when OnInitialitze event is called.

Do I have to call the clear method within the OnInitialize event before adding my list?

  Yes.

Aha, good to know. Is this new?

  Yes.  In the past, the control was filled with the new items, but the analagous property was not modified.  In other words, it was a "design-time-only" property.  Any time I notice a case where a property is "design-time-only" for no reason, I change it.  I don't remember exactly when combo boxes were changed, but it was in one of the recent alpha builds.
