TIWCGJQComboBoxEx causes AV during lookup

[Alexander Bulei]

Hi Daniel,

Another thing, you are comparing two different functions with different return values:

Code: Select all

IndexOf - return Integer, -1 when not found (check delphi documentation)

and

Code: Select all

ItemsByValue - return item, nil when not found

So obvious, when you access the nil object you will get AV...

Best Regards.

Guys,

It was late when I submitted the question. I overlooked an obvious problem. I guess I was looking for a simple way to test for the existence of an item in the list. Nothing I wrote was intended to be offensive or accusatory.

I certainly do not feel that I deserve comments like this: "and we don't care how other controls work, because we know that we are doing right". Why on earth would you say something like that to a customer?! I enjoy using your products and promote them any time I feel someone could benefit from them. I do not feel anything I said warranted such a harsh response.

Daniel,

Yeah... I kinda felt like it was a bit harsh too; I chalked the comment up to language differences... hoping that it was not intended to offend.

Merry Christmas!

Hi Daniel

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone.

This was the answer to

What? Are you saying that the designed behavior is to generate the error when searching for a value that is not in the list? I expect that it would it to return -1 or nil, but the error is completely unexpected.

When I use a normal ComboBox I can use a similar call without getting the error. If there is not a match I get -1 without an error.

I thought you're saying that the normal ComboBox is the model to follow, sorry again.

Merry Christmas

No worries. It was just a simple misunderstanding.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Daniel, and sorry for the misunderstanding
