Hello,
I'm working on a sheet which should update the options in a second (and third) list-boxes based on the selection of the first and second. (ie. selection a type of steel elements, the second list populates the options for steel grade depending of the element type selected).
The bug is that the later boxes don't update until they're clicked on. I want the lists to update automatically once the previous selections are completed.
I'm fairly new to the control script so I think the issue likely lies in my sequence.
Any help?
Solved! Go to Solution.
There is a simple script that you can use to perform this function. Put this script in the "script" section of the dynamic listbox. Put the list you want to use as input in the input section of this listbox.
Dim OldList()
ReDim OldList(0)
Dim OnLoad
OnLoad = 1
Rem Initialize List Box
Rem ListBox.ResetContent()
Rem Add Strings here as needed
Sub ListBoxEvent_Start()
sel = ListBox.CurSel
ListBox.CurSel = sel
End Sub
Sub ListBoxEvent_Exec(Inputs,Outputs)
sel = ListBox.CurSel
If sel < 0 Then
sel = 0
End If
ListBox.CurSel = sel
SelectionList = Inputs(0).Value
If ListHasChanged(SelectionList,OldList) Then
ListBox.ResetContent()
ReDim OldList(UBound(SelectionList))
For i = 0 to UBound(SelectionList)
OldList(i) = SelectionList(i)
ListBox.AddString(SelectionList(i))
Next
End If
If OnLoad Then
ListBox.CurSel = 0
OnLoad = 0
End If
Outputs(0).Value = ListBox.GetText(sel)
End Sub
Sub ListBox_SelChanged()
ListBox.Recalculate()
End Sub
Sub ListBox_DblClick()
ListBox.Recalculate()
End Sub
Function ListHasChanged(List1, List2)
ListHasChanged = 0
If UBound(List1) <> UBound(List2) Then
ListHasChanged = 1
Exit Function
End If
For i = 0 To UBound(List1)
If List1(i) <> List2(i) Then
ListHasChanged = 1
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
