Change Combobox options with code

Hello, I want to change the values inside the combobox using code in a dashboard GUI.

Currently I was able to change the values in the table, from the active view; however, when the Edit Mode is off and I change the values, they won't update. Here is an example of my code:

treenode combo = gui.subnodes["GraphPanel"].subnodes["Combobox_StaPath"].first;
treenode items_ = combo.find(">items");
items_.subnodes.clear();
items_.subnodes.assert("value_01",1);
items_.subnodes.assert("value_02",2);
items_.subnodes.assert("value_05",5);

the gui treenode was already defined and matches to the dashboard that is already the GUI.

So the table for the combobox is this one:

However it doesn't update and appears like this:

It will update until I turn on the Edit Mode and click in the table to this:

However I want it to update automatically due to that this will change every time I update some values.

I already updated the table in the background, the only missing step is to update the view of the table in the GUI dashboard.

I would appreciate your help.

Thank you,

Manuel.

Hello @Manuel Sinco,

Can you send us your model to try a few things? If it has information that cannot be shared and you can delete everything but that dashboard that would be enough.

Hello Manuel,

if at the end of your code you insert this line:

comborefresh(ownerobject(items_));

it will refresh the options.

I did not know that command, but since it changes when you select the pickoption I figure it must be one in that option, so I explored its extructure. To do this I right click the box and selected View>Explore structure,

In the tree that this shows I look for a trigger "OnPress", but it ended up being "addOption", there, I read the code and found out that command.

Thank you @Julio R this solved the problem, actually that's how I found how to update the values inside the table, but didn't saw that command before. Thank you!
