How do I add options to a combo box?

Help & Support
1

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I am trying to populate the dropdown in the combo box. I tried using an array but that didn't work so then I tried making the array into a vector before setting the value because this page says Vector is a valid datatype https://www.gpsoft.com.au/help/opus12/index.html#!Documents/Scripting/Control.htm

dlg.Control("combo").value = getPaths();

If I do I quick test the result is -1 instead of the options from the vector

DOpus.Output("value: " + dlg.Control("combo").value);

Full test code.


function OnInit(initData) {
    initData.name = "TestHelperAddIn";
    initData.version = "1.0";
    initData.copyright = "(c) 2023 chris";
    initData.desc = "TestHelperAddIn";
    initData.default_enable = true;
    initData.min_version = "12.0";

    // Create a new ScriptCommand object and initialize it to add the command to Opus
    var cmd = initData.AddCommand();
    cmd.name = initData.name;
    cmd.method = "start";
    cmd.desc = initData.desc;
    cmd.label = "TestHelperAddIn";
    //For arguments Ex: DazMove funcname to "folder"
    cmd.template = "items/k,";
}

function start(scriptCmdData) {
    DOpus.ClearOutput();
    var cmd = scriptCmdData.func.command;
    var dlg = cmd.Dlg;
    dlg.template = "SelectDestination";
    dlg.detach = true;
    dlg.Show;

    dlg.Control("combo").value = getPaths();
    while (true) {
        var Msg = dlg.GetMsg();
        if (!Msg.result) break;
        DOpus.Output("Msg Event = " + Msg.event);
    }
    DOpus.Output("Return code = " + dlg.result);

}

function getPaths() {
    var choices = [
        "\\\\DESKTOP\\nas\\foo",
        "\\\\Desktop\\nas\\bar",
        "\\\\Desktop\\nas\\test",
        "\\\\AMD\\QuadRed\\foo",
        "\\\\AMD\\QuadRed\\bar",
    ];

    var vChoices = DOpus.Create.Vector();
    vChoices.append(choices);

    return vChoices;
}

I've been adding them one by one in a loop.

function start(scriptCmdData) {
    DOpus.ClearOutput();
    var cmd = scriptCmdData.func.command;
    var dlg = cmd.Dlg;
    dlg.template = "SelectDestination";
    dlg.detach = true;
    dlg.Show;

	var choices = [
        "\\\\DESKTOP\\nas\\foo",
        "\\\\Desktop\\nas\\bar",
        "\\\\Desktop\\nas\\test",
        "\\\\AMD\\QuadRed\\foo",
        "\\\\AMD\\QuadRed\\bar",
    ];
    
    for (var i = 0; i < choices.length; i++)
		dlg.Control("combo").AddItem(choices[i]);
    
    while (true) {
        var Msg = dlg.GetMsg();
        if (!Msg.result) break;
        DOpus.Output("Msg Event = " + Msg.event);
    }
    DOpus.Output("Return code = " + dlg.result);
}

I was almost to the point of trying to add one at a time. I guess that's how I will have to do it for now. Thanks for your help.
