How can I build a V List Box dynamically?

Hi everyone,

I need a window, that can be saved as Word document.

At the moment the results are completely useless (as there are a few thousand graphs underneath each other on one page).  I figured out why my page breaks don't work.  The problem here is that I have to build the window dynamically.

What I need to do is:

New Window("MyTitle", // Create a new window

    V List Box( // Stack everything on top of each other

        For (i = 0, i <= N Col(InputTable), i++,

            <Do Stuff>;

            <Create Chart>;

            <Do Stuff>;

            <Create Chart>;

            <Add Page Break Box>;

        );

    );

);

However, the syntax for the V List Box

V List Box(

     <<Element1,

    <<Element2,

    ...

);

This means my code will never work...

I tried to put the for loop outside the V List Box (adding several list box to a window), but then I have no results.  So what I actually need is a way to define a V List Box and a way to add charts and page break boxes to it AFTER it was created and initialized, like this

New Window("MyTitle",

    MyListBox = V List Box();

);

<Do Stuff>;

ch = <Create Chart>;

MyListBox << Add ch;

Is there any way that I can add my charts after List Box Creation?

Or is there any wy I can dynamically add charts to the listbox?

Or is there a way to store all charts in an array?

Thanx!

Jan.

Re: How can I build a V List Box dynamically?

InputTable = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Drug.jmp" );


New Window( "MyWindow", tt = V List Box() );


For( i = 2, i <= N Col( InputTable ), i++,

  <Do Stuff>;

  tt << append(

    V List Box(

      Text Box( "Chart " || Char( i - 1 ) ),

      InputTable << oneway( Y( Column( i ) ), X( Column( 1 ) ) )

    )

  )

);



It works!!!
