to make clear some thinking on 'select' commands combo/list

[jarych]

Unsure where this should go and could use help on formatting; tabulating those four 'select' commands for listboxes and comboboxes.
Maybe still lacking something.

Putting as a table might be nice. Better if appear like a simple grid.


JUST FOR COMBOBOXES AND LISTBOXES
(taken code line examples from the helpfile)

print #handle.ext, "select string"                   puts 'string' into the box'es top display field.
OR
print #handle.ext, "select ";string$


print #handle.ext, "selectindex i"                   puts array item at index i into box'es top display field.
OR
print #handle.ext, "selectindex :;i


print #handle.ext, "selection? selected$"            assigns the user-chosen item string into variable selected$.
OR
print #handle.ext, "selection? ";selected$


print #handle.ext, "selectionindex? index"          takes the INDEX of the user-chosen item and put into the variable, index.
OR
print #handle.ext, "selectionindex? ";index

I might need to delete this posting because trying to make better formatting; I see what looks like a grid tool...

JUST FOR COMBOBOXES AND LISTBOXES
(taken code line examples from the helpfile)

Row 1 column 1	Row 1 column 2
Row 2 column 1	Row 2 column 2
Row 3 column 1	Row 3 column 2
Row 4 column 1	Row 4 column 2

...checking how this looks...
TERRIBLE.


I try differently: First clicking the grid tool...

Row 1 column 1	Row 1 column 2
Row 2 column 1	Row 2 column 2

No. That would be just plain wrong. Needed are FOUR rows at least to hold the content.

Another,...
Redo the grid tool;
Copy & Past each 'cell' wanted...

	Row 1 column 2
Row 2 column 1	Row 2 column 2
Row 3 column 1	Row 3 column 2
Row 4 column 1	Row 4 column 2

No! Maybe moderator or administrator can help?
