FCKToolbarSpecialCombo Question

1) Create a prototype function that will load up an object with the values you'll want to display

FCKToolbarXCombo.prototype.GetXData = function()
{
   var xdata = {} ;
   while (moredata) {
      // Need some logic here...
      xdata[ shortname ] = htmlcontents ;
   }
   return fields ;
}

2) Create your CreateItems function...

FCKToolbarXCombo.prototype.CreateItems = function( targetSpecialCombo )
{
   // Important: Set the OnBeforeClick function to your custom reload function.
   // Do it in CreateItems, which only gets called at toolbar creation.
   targetSpecialCombo.OnBeforeClick = this.XCombo_OnBeforeClick ;
   var xdata = targetSpecialCombo.GetXData() ;
   for ( var shortname in xdata )
   {
      var contents = xdata [ shortname ] ;
      var caption = shortname ;
      var item = targetSpecialCombo.AddItem( shortname, caption ) ;
      item.Name = shortname ;
      item.Definition = contents ;
   }
}

3) Create the OnBeforeClick function... (This can be very similar to the CreateItems function)

FCKToolbarXCombo.prototype.XCombo_OnBeforeClick = function( targetSpecialCombo )
{
   targetSpecialCombo.DeselectAll() ;  // Deselect and clear the current combo box of items
   targetSpecialCombo.ClearItems() ;
   var xdata = targetSpecialCombo.GetXData() ;  // Reload your data
   for ( var shortname in xdata )
   {
      var contents = xdata [ shortname ] ;
      var caption = shortname ;
      var item = targetSpecialCombo.AddItem( shortname, caption ) ;
      item.Name = shortname ;
      item.Definition = contents ;
   }
}

And if it helps... On Execute, I am inserting the HTML stored in the selected comboItem.Definition.
