Setting of the items by the method

Use addItem method to add items to the list with an string and position. If the position is omitted,add it to the last of the list. The following program is a sample adding item to the list.

#----------------------------------------------------------
#Function for the event procedure
#----------------------------------------------------------
use mpfc;

sub btnep1 {
  my ($object)= @_;
  # Delete all the items of the list.
  $newlist_001->delAll();
  # Add an item to the last of the list.
  $newlist_001->addItem("item1");
  $newlist_001->addItem("item2");
  $newlist_001->addItem("item3");
  $newlist_001->addItem("item4");
  # Add an item to the specified position of the list.
  $newlist_001->addItem("item0",0);  # 0は先頭
  $newlist_001->addItem("item5",-1); # -1は末尾

  # Update the modified list.
  $newlist_001->updateList();
  return;
}
1;

Setting of the items by the property

the property "data" can be used for setting the items of the list, if it is a comparatively little number of the items. In such case, set the property "dataSource" to WS_DATA_SOURCE_NONE, and set the items which is punctuated with comma every one item to the property "data".

#----------------------------------------------------------
#Function for the event procedure
#----------------------------------------------------------
use mpfc;

sub btnep1 {
  my ($object) = @_;
  # Delete all the items of the list.
  $newlist_001->delAll();

  # Set the items of the list by the property
  $newlist_001->setProperty("dataSource",$mpfc::WS_DATA_SOURCE_NONE);
  $newlist_001->setProperty("data","item0\nitem1\nitem2\nitem3\nitem4");
  return;
}
1;

It is possible to indicate the specified ICON by icon file name as following program. Set True to the property "useIcon" and Set the items as following format. If it is omitted,the value of "iconPixmap" is used for default icon.

  format:
  ICON1filename,string1ofTheItem\n ICON2filename,string2ofTheItem\n...

#----------------------------------------------------------
#Function for the event procedure
#----------------------------------------------------------
use mpfc;

sub btnep1 {
  my ($object) = @_;
  # Delete all the list of the list
  $newlist_001->delAll();

  # Set the items of the list by the property
  $newlist_001->setProperty("dataSource",$mpfc::WS_DATA_SOURCE_NONE);
  $newlist_001->setProperty("data",
     "$(WSDIR)/sys/pixmaps/bi16.xpm,item1\nitem2\nitem3");
  return;
}
1;

Setting of the items from the file directly

It is possible to set the items from the file directly. In such case at first,set WS_DATA_SOURCE_FILE to the property "dataSource", and set the file name to the property "dataSourceName" as following program.

#----------------------------------------------------------
#Function for the event procedure
#----------------------------------------------------------
use mpfc;

sub btnep1 {
  my ($object) = @_;
  # Delete all the items of the list
  $newlist_001->delAll();

  # Set the items from file directly
  $newlist_001->setProperty("dataSource",$mpfc::WS_DATA_SOURCE_FILE);
  $newlist_001->setProperty("dataSourceName","data.txt");
  return;
}
1;
# data.txt contains...
$(WSDIR)/sys/pixmaps/bi16.xpm,item1
item2
item3
item4
$(WSDIR)/sys/pixmaps/bi16.xpm,item5
item6
item7
item8

Setting of the items from the other instance

It is possible to set the items from the data source target property of the other instances. In such case, set WS_DATA_SOURCE_INSTANCE to the property "dataSource", and set the instance name to the property "dataSourceName". In the following example, a WSCtextField instance are specified to the property "dataSourceName" and then it sets the string data of it to the list.

#----------------------------------------------------------
#Function for the event procedure
#----------------------------------------------------------
use mpfc;

sub btnep1 {
  my ($object) = @_;
  # Delete all the items of the list
  $newlist_001->delAll();

  # Set the items from the other instances
  $newlist_001->setProperty("dataSource",$mpfc::WS_DATA_SOURCE_INSTANCE);
  $newlist_001->setProperty("dataSourceName","newtext_000");
  return;
}
1;
