Problem with on the fly generated ComboBox in Calc

Hi

I create a repport via OLE Automation using Powerbuilder
In that repport I have a dropdown combo which is created as follow

oCB = oDoc.createInstance("com.sun.star.form.component.ComboBox")
oControl = oDoc.createInstance("com.sun.star.drawing.ControlShape")

oCB.Dropdown = true
oCB.Enabled = true
oCB.MaxTextLen = 60
oCB.lineCount = 5
oCB.name = "cb" + g_dossier
oControl.setPosition(oPoint)
oControl.setSize(oSize)

// populating itemList //

oCB.StringItemList = itemList
oControl.setControl(oCB)
oPage.add(oControl)

The combobox is correctly displayed in the page but I cannot choose a value in the combobox
if I save and close my document then re-open it my combo works just fine

I know I could save/close/open in my script but Id like to know if I could avoid those steps

I tried .uno:refresh reload and stuff like that wut withtout any success so far

Thanks in advance
Cheers

Francois,

I have no problem creating and using the combobox (using your code) here (WinXP, OOo 2.3.1)

Which OOo version you have?

Sorry I forgot to mention the versions
Win XP Pro SP3
OOo 2.4.0 FR

mmmh, 2.4.0 was more buggy than 2.4.1

If you can wait another week: OOo 3.0 is around the corner. Otherwise I would recommend upgrading to 2.4.1

Good luck.
