Re-Write uiCombo Contents from a Table

[spiffo-smith]

Sometimes it becomes necessary to re-write the uiCombo Contents and this throws up a series of problems, below is a script I just wrote that takes care of things:

function replace_uiCombo_content_from_table(combo, table)

local string = ""
local size = 0
local orig_value = panel:getModulatorByName(combo):getModulatorValue()

panel:getModulatorByName(combo):setValue(-1, false, true)

if table ~= nil then

	for k, v in pairs(table) do
    	size = size + 1
	end

	for i = 1, size-1 do
		add = table[i]
		add = string.gsub (add, "[^%w]", "")
		string = string..add
		if i ~= size-1 then string = string.."\n" else end
	end

	panel:getModulatorByName(combo):getComponent():setProperty("uiComboContent" , string, false)
	panel:getModulatorByName(combo):setValue(orig_value, false, true)
else end
end

Call this function with:

replace_uiCombo_content_from_table ("patch_tone1_wave_number", intA_waveform_name_table)

The uiCombo name must be in “” quotes, but the table name is not.
