Update current element when new list is given

[CarloR93]

Hi there, I am successfully passing to the 'rows' property a list of elements. I want to set the 'current' property to the first element of the new rows list but changing it seems to not work. For example if I do this:

let newRows = [["name1"],["name2"],["name3"]];
let newCurrent = "name1";
Screen.Items("Select_1").Properties.rows = newRows;
Screen.Items("Select_1").Properties.current =  newCurrent; //<- the dropdown stays empty, though it seems that the value is passed anyway if I check with trace

newRows and newCurrent in this example are not formatted as they truly should be, but they are in the final code and are passed correctly. Should I do something different instead of changing the 'current' property?

And is it possible to remove the empty element in the list?

Anyway great job with this control!

Hi!
I will check this issue soon, everything seems to be good in your code, let me make some tests and i will update you!

Hi David, I was able with some more time to solve the selection part.

For the 'current' selection I was encapsulating the data in "". I thought it was necessary to keep the same format as the rows. Removing them seems to work fine at least for strings.

Remove the empty element at the beginning of the list is the only thing I miss now. I even tried to set rows= null and then rows=formattedData but still have the empty element on the top

Anyway I "solved" the empty element. If someone needs the same you just need to comment this part

let $optionEmpty = $('<option>');
$optionEmpty.val('');
$optionEmpty.text('');
$sel.append($optionEmpty);

inside the index.html.

Hope this helps!
