I have a linkedlist created using a simple structure:

Structure debitStructure
    name.s
    date.s
    cost.s
EndStructure
NewList debitList.debitStructure()

then this is populated with strings read from a preference file:

Code: Select all

If OpenPreferences("debits.prefs")
    PreferenceGroup("amount")
        maxDebits = ReadPreferenceLong("number", 0)
    For x=1 To maxDebits
        PreferenceGroup("debit"+Str(x))
            AddElement(debitList())
                debitList()\name = ReadPreferenceString("name", "Error...")
                debitList()\date = ReadPreferenceString("date", "Error...")
                debitList()\cost = ReadPreferenceString("cost", "Error...")
    Next
    ClosePreferences()
EndIf

with me? right. then i try to populate a ListIconGadget with the following code:

Code: Select all

Procedure updateListBox()
    FirstElement(debitList())
    For x=1 To maxDebits
        rowString.s = debitList()\name+Chr(10)+addDateSuffix(debitList()\date)+Chr(10)+debitList()\cost+Chr(10)+updateDaysLeft(debitList()\date)
        AddGadgetItem(#LIST_BOX, x, rowString)
        NextElement(debitList())
    Next
EndProcedure

the problem is that only the first column is being populated! i have added the chr(10)'s to seperate the text for each column, but the text seems to dissapear. If you add Debug rowString it reports the correct string? any ideas?

thanks,

Shouldn't this line be...

AddGadgetItem(#LIST_BOX, -1, rowString)

...to fill the list? I haven't used listboxes myself, so I'm assuming
that you only use numbers bigger than -1 when inserting items, and not
when adding them? Can anyone confirm this for me (and Kale) please?
