how to change populate a combo box value based on another combo box and table.

working with Prime 10.  I have two lists with different type of tubular threads.  Using the first combo box select between the two list to pull data from.  Automatically populating the second combo box with available tubing size.  Then auto populated the next combo box with available weights.  If not with a combo box can this be done with a list box?  Pulling from a data table and not having to load all the data within a script editor?

Hi,

Combo box is a basic control with no opportunity to script how the combo box operates.

List Box is an advanced control that can be scripted to change given a response.

 

Cheers

This video explains how to create a List Box as of PTC Mathcad Prime 10, and then shows a worksheet demonstrating how you can set a List Box to have different values, and then have another List Box change its displayed selections based on the the selection of the first List Box. You can download ...

Thanks Terry. 

I have reviewed this demo several times and it all good.  But what I am looking for is something similar but with a combo box. 

We have a Database with several hundred different size and weight for thread connections.  within a combo box if I pick 3 1/2 size the next combo box list available thread weight for the 3 1/2 connection.  This data then can be used to do several calculations withing Mathcad.   

 

Thanks Ed.
