ComboBox Table

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The lines of a combobox are not treated as individual controls; they are part of some combobox that functions as a control. This table lists the values for all comboboxes.

The ComboBox table has the following columns.

Column	Type	Key	Nullable

Property	Identifier	Y	N
Order	Integer	Y	N
Value	Formatted		N
Text	Text		Y

Columns

Property: A named property to be tied to this item. All the items tied to the same property become part of the same combobox.
Order: A positive integer used to determine the ordering of the items that appear in a single combobox list. The integers do not have to be consecutive. If a combobox is defined as ordered, all the items should have an Order value. If the combobox is defined as unordered, this column is ignored.
Positive numbers only.
Value: The value string associated with this item. Selecting this line of the combobox sets the associated property (specified in Property) to this value.
Text: The visible text to be assigned to the item. If this entry or the entire column is missing, the text defaults to the corresponding entry in Value.

Remarks

Formatting

The contents of the Value and Text fields are formatted by the MsiFormatRecord function when the control is created, so they can contain any expression that the MsiFormatRecord function can interpret. The formatting occurs only when the control is created, and it is not updated if a property involved in the expression is modified during the life of the control.
