Using AddGadgetItem() and breaking a line?

[PB&J Lover]

Hello PB Users,

I'm using AddGatgetItem() to add items to columns in a list. Why does "-1" work to fill up the list but counting down the rows from 1 on does not?

also, is there a way to break long lines in PB? Like this one?

Code: Select all

AddGadgetItem(lb,-1,punch(x,1)+Chr(10)+punch(x,2)+Chr(10)+punch(x,3)+Chr(10)+punch(x,4)+Chr(10)+punch(x,5)+Chr(10)+punch(x,6)+Chr(10)+punch(x,7))

Thanks

...To add this item to the end of the current item list, use a value of -1...

By using -1, you are always pointing to the next available item at the end of the list. Therefore, you can't use -1 in reverse.

As for breaking long lines of code in PB, you can't do it with break characters as in some other languages.

You can build a loop to create a string and then refer to the string when you AddGadgetItem. This will break up your lines.

Code: Select all

punch$=""
For I = 1 to 7
punch$ = punch$ + punch(x,I) + Chr(10)
Next

AddGadgetItem(lb,-1,punch$)

You have to start counting ListItems at 0, I believe.
