The name of List Box or Combo Box control to use must necessarily be specified.

<Element>: Character string (with quotes)

Element to modify in the specified List Box (or Combo Box) control.
For a ListView control, this parameter corresponds to the image caption.
The Carriage Return characters (CR) and the tabulations (TAB) are not supported.
To add several consecutive spaces, non-breakable space characters must be used: Charact(160).

<Image>: Optional character string (with quotes)

Name and path of image that will be added into a ListView control. This parameter is taken into account for ListView controls displayed in ListView mode only.
If this parameter is not specified, the default image (defined in the "Details" tab in the description window of control) will be used.
This parameter is not available.

<Element subscript>: Optional integer

Subscript of element to modify.
If this parameter:
is not specified or if it is set to -1, the current element is modified. ListModify has no effect if there is no current element.

ListModify has no effect if this parameter is equal to 0 or if it is greater than the number of elements found in the List Box (or Combo Box) control.

Remarks

Multiselection List Box control

If one or more elements are selected in the List Box control, ListModify deselects no element.

Modified element

When modifying an element containing an invisible value (specified by gLink), gLink must be re-used. Otherwise, this invisible value will be lost during the modification.

For example:

adding "MyElement":

ListAdd(COMBO_MyCombo, "MyElement" + gLink("1"))
modifying "MyElement":

ListModify(COMBO_MyCombo, "MyNewElement" + gLink("1"))

Modifying an element in the browser

When modifying an element in browser code, this element is modified only for the page displayed in the browser. In order for this element to be modified on the server, ListModify must be run on the server.

The call to ListModify in browser code is suitable when using the AJAX technology, in "Programmed AJAX" mode (via AJAXExecute or AJAXExecuteAsynchronous).

Reminder: In "Automatic and immediate AJAX" mode, all you have to do is switch the server process containing ListModify to automatic AJAX mode. That's it! No additional programming is required. See AJAX for more details.

Miscellaneous

To modify an element in a Table control, use TableModify.
ListModify can be used on a "Combo Box" table column.
