Hey there,

see also bugreport:

Lately theuserbl is the only one who updates and provides compiled framework versions.
Maybe he is willing to fix this as well?! :rolleyes:

Hello again Dani.

I am new user of Jabaco and i am a lit bit confused.

I have to download only the latest framework?

It is something like update?

I do not need the older frameworks?

You told to make a change of the framework code of combobox class how could i make that change?

About listindex-1 is it on the last framework?

Thank you for your precious help!

Hey there,

unfortunatly there is no fixed location for the latest compiled framework version. So someone who is not constantly watching this board will not even know where and what version to look for!
As far as I know this post:

http://www.jabaco.org/board/p3044-comman…r.html#post3044

is pointing to thelatest version.

But as I mentioned the Combo.ListIndex bug is not fixed yet.
I pointed out how to fix it in the framework as you might have seen in the bugreport.

In general to substitute any existing framework on your system all you have to do is:

In your Jabaco installation path rename Jabaco.jar to Jabaco.old in case you need to switch back. And paste in Jabaco-rev87.jar renaming it to Jabaco.jar. Start up Jabaco voila. You are all set!

I think you should start here to understand what the framework is:

http://www.jabaco.org/wiki/Jabaco_Framework

Also there are numerous posts regarding the framework.
Use the search facility to find e.g. how to compile your own framework version!!

Hi Dani thank you for the userfull link.
It helped me a lot to understand the frameworks.

But i have another question yet.
How can i change the code

Public Property Let ListIndex(val As Integer)
If val > 0 And val < ListCount Then
Call Parent.setSelectedIndex(val)
End If
End Property

to something like this?

Public Property Let ListIndex(val As Integer)
If val >= -1 And val < ListCount Then
Call Parent.setSelectedIndex(val)
End If
End Property

so to use it on my program

Hey there,

as I have been trying to explain:

In order to make that change you have to compile the framework to get your own Jabaco.jar.
And that is a bit of a task!

You will have to do some reading and searching in this forum.
Check out this thread for a start:

http://www.jabaco.org/board/p3112-http-u…y.html#post3112

I have done this once to get some very specific functionality but I hardly remember every step.

there is no other way / code to make the pointer go to the combobox with the first item?
For example something like if the value = "empty" (that is my first item)

Sorry if am tiring but i am trying to make my reset button work and i am confused
