NeoDBPro and VisualNeo Win ~ Populte a listbox or combo box
Quote from Nickj_UK on February 6, 2025, 7:14 pmHi everyone.
Can I move a list of data from a database table and use it into a drop down list for the user to select.
Open the table ~ example dbpOpenTable "MainDB" "Category1" ""
This will pull the data list and hold it an array
I am already using this with ~ example dbpShowGrid "MainDB" "Category1" "Group1"Am I able to access this array and populate a list box?
Or will I have to do something very messy like generate an external CSV of the table contents then parse that to make a list for the listbox to display?
Any thoughts, ideas or experiences gratefully received.

Quote from Nickj_UK on February 7, 2025, 12:47 pmThanks Luihp, that provides more than enough information to achieve what I wanted quite easily and literally in a few minutes. I think it was possibly deep in a forum search I had made
I was going to purchase a licence for Indigo Rose APMS, I have been using an old free 'community' version which was released a while ago which has a few limitations but is, you will probably know, a LUA based RAD tool which did have a very good user community. The update history hasn't been stellar and many of the more active forum members have left.
I had been quite productive on WaveMaker before it became heavily monitised (once us early users had debugged pretty much all of the major and minor bugs, and been rewarded with the pulling of the community version) and more recently was using Livecode (more of the same :( as the platform grew). As I am now retired I couldn't really justify the ongoing costs associated with these rich but now expensive platforms.
I was aware of NeoBook something over 20 years ago, the old base of VisualNeo, but I didn't know that it had been modernised quite as nicely.
It took me a few hours with the trial version to decide that it was worth buying a licence.Thanks again
