Managing select box collection (co, coro excells)

Initialization by script

The following method can be used to get a select box collection common for the whole column:

       combo = grid.getCombo(index);

If you need a collection to be specific for a cell:

       combo = grid.getCustomCombo(rId,cIndex)

The collection supports the following API:

    combo.put(value,label) - adds a new record in the collection;
    combo.remove(value) - removes a record from the collection;
    combo.clear() - removes all records from the collection;
 
    combo.size() - returns the current size of the combo box;
    combo.get(value) - returns the label by value;
    combo.getKeys() - returns the array of all possible values;
 
    combo.save() - saves the current state;
    combo.restore() - restores the previously saved state.

Initialization from XML

The list of options for combo can be defined from XML in two ways:

With column configuration the values will be set for all cells in a column

    <rows>
        <head>
            <column type="co"> Combo column
                <option value="1"> First </option>
                <option value="2"> Second </option>
                <option value="3"> Third </option>
            </column>

For separate cells ( pro version only )

    <rows>
        <row id="some1">
            <cell> some </cell>
            <cell> some </cell>
            <cell xmlcontent="true">1<option value="1">The first</option><option value="2">The second</option></cell>
            <cell> some </cell>
        </row>
    </rows>
