Retrieve combo box item values in ArcPad

[ZahidMia]

I have some combo boxes a form and the item values are created using ???Values stored with form??? in ???Control properties??? window. Now for a specific entry of one combo box (cbo_A) the item values of other combo box (cbo_B) has to be changed. Now if I change the value of cbo_A to another value then the items in cbo_B stays same as before. I was wondering if there any way to get all the item values in cbo_B entered using Values stored with form???.

Use of additem for each entry is not expected. Looking for any method for retrieving the stored values which is removed by ???cbo_B.clear???.

Hi Zahid,

I'm not sure if this will help you or not - but if your workflow involves choosing a value from a list (A), then having a subset of values available for list (B) then you may want to look at using SUBTYPES in your geodatabase. Subtypes allow you to set default values, coded or range value domains and connectivity rules in your data. These geodatabase features will also apply to your ArcPad AXF when you check out data for editing using the ArcPad Data Manager Toolbar in ArcMap.

I would suggest looking up Subtypes in the ArcMap Help for further guidance on how to set up your geodatabase.
