add items to combo box

[drycsr]

Hi all,

I have a vi that includes a "combo box", "add" and "delete" buttons. You can click the "add" button to add new value to combo box or click the "delete" button to delete a value from it. I have added 1,2,3,4,5 as an example, respectively.

When 3 was deleted, empty string placed instead of 3 (empty string is desired when delete a value).

Now, after deleting, I would like to add new value instead of the deleted value. I mean, for instance i'd like to add 3 again at the its old position (between 2 and 4).

Any idea?

Best Regards.

You might start running into problems since I don't think you can have multiple combo box entries which are identical.  (i.e. deleting multiple entries will result in multiple empty strings which will be problematic.)

Is there a reason why you don't want to just remove the entries instead of replace them?

Would a Text Ring work better than a combo box?

Hi Taki,

You're right, i used text ring instead of combo box, text ring more useful and it's very helpful thank you!

And as you say, deleting multiple entries will be problematic, i dont notice that 😕  But it is needed that add new value instead of the deleted value. 

I'll search/think something else, thank you again..

The main idea is, regardless of empty string and duplicates, that you get all the strings/values through a propertiy node, change some through Replace Array and put it back through another property node. 🙂
