Reset to default value in ComboBox

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have the following problem:

I have a screen where a person has to select his own name from a list, after selecting his own name from the ComboBox he navigate's to the second screen and fills out a question, after this procedure the screens goes back to the first screen where the ComboBox should be empty and ready to fill in for the next user to register a question.

I cannot find a way to reset this combobox, I tried the following without success:

- Use the reset function : Reset(ComboBoxName)

- Use the reset attribute on the ComboBox and let it change from true to false - maybe this doesn't works because I put wrong values in the Default or DefaultSelectedItems attributes but also here I'm not 100% sure what to fill in here (I tried with Blank(), "", -1, or even the first record from my Items datasource)

Remarks:

- I cannot use the User().Fullname attribute since the application is running under a generic account

- I cannot use the dropdown control since we really need to foresee the option to type in the name since the list with names has more than 100 items in it

Does anyone knows the solution to this one?

Reset(ComboBox1) is the proper way to do this. It will remove the previous user selections while maintaining the data source configured originally.

Unfortunately this was just implemented recently and will be released in two weeks.

Okay, good to know it will be released soon because I was pulling my hear out on this one 🙂

Thanks for the quick reply!

Hi @Anonymous

I try to search your post and finally get it.

I am trying out to figure out the best way and also looking for better solution from PG.

Anyway, I have a workaround which definitely works and i am using it esp for a 500 Combo Box dropdown.. it is faster to lookg for a item with IsSearhable = true.

Please look at my post and hope it helps.
