Clearing a CyclicField in a form

alegouis

Hi all,

I created a form with 2 Cyclic Fields to chose a Library and a Cell before executing an action on them. Here is what I did :

1) I fill up my LibNameCyclicField with the list of libs from my current session that I get from ddGetLibList().

2) The callback of my LibNameCyclicField fills up my CellNameCyclicField with the name of cells from the chosen library that I get from ddGetObjChildren() and  a loop with hiAddCyclicChoice().

Now, when I chose a new library in my LibNameCyclicField it just adds the new cellnames in my CellNameCyclicField to the ones that already were there. 

My question is : Is there an efficient way to delete the cyclic choices of a CyclicField ? Something like hiDeleteCyclicChoice() would be nice but I didn't find anything that works yet.

Thanks in advance,

ALG.

    You have to update the ->choices value - for example:

    form->cyclicField->choices = remove("choiceToDelete" form->cyclicField->choices)
