Content (Property)

In french: Contenu

The Content property is used to read or write the whole content of a control:

List Box populated programmatically,
Combo Box populated programmatically,
Spreadsheet.

This allows you to read or write all the rows in the control in a single line of code.

Remark: On a List Box or Combo Box control based on a data file, you can only read the list of elements.

The Content property can also be used on an Upload control to get the list of uploaded files.

Example

// Adds elements to the current content of the List Box control
LIST_List1.Content = LIST_List1.Content + CR + "Tommy" + CR + "Emma"

n is int
// Add the row into the Table control (the Combo Box column being the 2nd one)
n = TableAddLine(TABLE_Table1, "1", "c2")
// Modify the content of the Combo Box column for the added row
// Note: Return values are used via gStoredValue,
// therefore, this option must be enabled in the description of the column
TABLE_Table1.COL_ComboBox[n].Content = "computer 1" + gStoredValue("c1") + CR + ...
"computer 2" + gStoredValue("c2")

Remarks

Upload control

The Content property is used to get the list of files selected in a multi-file Upload control. The names of files are separated by CR characters (Carriage Return). For a single-file Upload control, only the name of the selected file is returned.

The file name corresponds to the path and name of the uploaded temporary file. For example: C\WebDep\Temp\File.upl
This property must be used in the "Receive files uploaded" event. In the other cases, this property returns an empty string.

This property is equivalent to the Value property.

Spreadsheet control

The Content property is used to get and modify the binary content of the Spreadsheet control. For example:

PSHEET_Show.Content = fLoadBuffer(fExeDir()+"\Fashion Showxls")

This property is equivalent to the Value property.
