combobox

wondered if anyone might know why when i use a combination of the combo box plugin and also 'next-prev' navigation arrows that the titles for the scenes in the combo box don't subsequently change to correspond with the scene when i choose to navigate using the 'next-prev' navigation arrows rather than a combobox selection ?

Hi,

a combobox is by itself only a combobox, when you using to show a scene selection, it doesn't know by its own that when a scene gets changed, that it should update itself.

But doing that is possible of course, e.g. use the 'onxmlcomplete' or 'onnewpano' events and there update the combobox by e.g. calling the 'selectitembyname' action:
https://krpano.com/plugins/combobox/#selectitembyname

Here an example code:

	Source code
1 2 3	<events name="cbbox_scene_update" keep="true" onxmlcomplete="layer[cbbox_scenes].selectitem( get(scene[get(xml.scene)].name) );" />

Best regards,
Klaus

Hi Klaus.
Where I must append this code, I've tried it in the .xml before the scenes, and also within the scenes, and the selected thumbnail in the combobox is still the initial

The solution proposed by Klaus:

   <events name = "cbbox_scene_update" keep = "true"
         onxmlcomplete = "layer [cbbox_scenes] .selectitem (get (scene [get (xml.scene)]. name));"
         />

It has not worked for me, days ago I asked about this, but I have not had an answer, someone can help me.
I have added the code suggested by Klaus in various parts and in the different xml files. But I have not been successful.
