ENTRIES keyword
Applies To
List box and combo box components
Component property: List source
Description
Specifies the entries in an Inline-type list of values (INLINE) for a list box or combo box.
Syntax
Single-column list
ENTRIES( entry1 [ , entry2 , . . . ] )
| Part | Description |
| entry1 entry2 | Expressions that evaluate to strings, which can display as entries in the list. |
Multiple-column list
ENTRIES( entry1a \ entry1b . . . [ , entry2a \ entry2b . . . ] )
| Part | Description |
| entry1a entry1b | Expressions that evaluate to strings, which can display as table cells in the first row of the list. |
| entry2a entry2b | Expressions that evaluate to strings, which can display as table cells in the second row of the list. |
Remarks
In a multiple-column list, by default all columns display in the order in which you specify entries as parameters to the keyword, and the component is bound to the first column. You can use the “DISPLAY” keyword to override the default and specify which columns show in the list and the order in which they are shown. You can use the “VALUE” keyword to bind the component to a specific column.
Examples
This example creates a list consisting of three entries:
INLINE ENTRIES(New,Used,Reconditioned)
The next example creates a two-column list, displays the second column (for example, “New”), and binds the component to the first column (for example, “10”).
INLINE ENTRIES(10\New,20\Used,30\Reconditioned) DISPLAY(2) VALUE(1)
