Basic MSI Projects

Populating a list box at run time requires you to create temporary records for the .msi database using SQL queries. For an example, see Populating A List Box Dynamically At Run Time in the Revenera Community. For additional information, see Accessing the MSI Database at Run Time in the Revenera Community.

The CtrlSetList function associates a string list variable with a ListBox control on a dialog. For example:

function FillListBox( )

LIST listDays;

begin

listDays = ListCreate(STRINGLIST);

ListAddString(listDays, "Monday", AFTER);

ListAddString(listDays, "Wednesday", AFTER);

ListAddString(listDays, "Friday", AFTER);

CtrlSetList("DialogName", nListBoxId, listDays);

end;
