Syntax

SETSELECTION(widget; newEntry; type)

• widget - the menu widget to which the new setting should be applied - Value type: widget

• newEntry - the new entry, to which the menu should be switched - Value type: any (depending on parameter “type”)

• type - the type of the parameter newEntry - Value type: constant (optional, default value: position) Possible values are

  • value - parameter newEntry contains the value of the new entry

  • position - parameter newEntry contains the position of the new entry in the list of menu entries

Remarks

1. position is 1-based, so if the first entry should be selected, position must be 1.

2. If position is less than 1 or higher than the number of menu entries, the menu selection does not change.

3. The "On switch" action of the menu widget is executed directly after the function is called.
