Text should change correctly, looks like the problem somewhere in your code. There should be something like:


    Item.CreateEditOptions
    Item.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "blablabla", someValue
    ...
    Item.EditOptions.ConstraintEdit = True
    Item.EditOptions.AddComboButton

Look at ValueChanged event.

In general, look at standard ReportSample application, TaskList form (menu Test / Task List sample). It shows how to handle all those things.

Thank you for the tip, I am now able to load the combo boxes exactly how I want. My problem now is that the text doesn't change when I select a new value from the combo box. I would also like to be able to add logic to the event that occurs when this value is changed.

Before accessing EditOptions property for an item you should call CreateEditOptions -- it initializes further customization. Then access it as regular EditOptions property.

Is there any way to add a combo box with different items to each row in the report control? I am trying to use the EditOptions object in the ReportRecordItem class but it does not seem to exist on the ReportRecordItem. Here is an example of the code that I am writing:

    Dim oRecord As ReportRecord
    Dim oItem As ReportRecordItem

    Set oRecord = moFormApp.rptWorkflowData.Records.Add()
    Set oItem = oRecord.AddItem(vbNullString)
    Call oItem.EditOptions.Constraints.Add("first item", 1)

-> results in error: "Object variable or With block variable not set"

If I try to set the create a new ReportRecordItemEditOptions object I also receive an error.

    Set oItem.EditOptions = New ReportRecordItemEditOptions

-> results in error: "ActiveX component can't create object"
