Combobox filled from database

[Bill Marriott]

The predefined options of a combo box =

the text of btn "combo"

The currently specified value of a combo box =

the label of btn "combo"

Please note that a combo box by definition allows the specification of 
values that are not pre-defined, and would seem to be a poor choice for an 
indexed value list, as someone could enter "poodle" or anything they wanted 
into the box. An Option menu does not have this problem.

If you were to have an Option menu in which you can get and set according to 
an index n (1,2,3...) then:

-- set the menu choice
set the label of btn "option" to line n of the text of btn "option"

-- get the menu choice
put lineOffset ("Euro", btn "option") into n

Hope that helps.

Bill
