lbSetData [idc, index, data];
The data parameter has to be a string ATM. Obviously this majorly limits which data types can be stored and attached to any given lb index / selection.
For example, if I'm filling a listbox with a list of nearby static objects, I don't have the option to store their positions with lbSetData
Something like the following would be nice
{
_displayName = getText ( configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> _x >> "displayName" );
_index = lbAdd [ 1500, _displayname ];
lbSetData [1500, _index, getPos _x ];// STORE THE POSITION
} forEach allMissionObjects "Land_TableDesk_F";
OR
{
_displayName = getText ( configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> _x >> "displayName" );
_index = lbAdd [ 1500, _displayname ];
lbSetData [1500, _index, _x ]; // STORE THE OBJECT ITSELF
} forEach allMissionObjects "Land_TableDesk_F";
Being able to store data types other then a string in a data field for GUI's would be a very nice change in the engine. Right now when using objects in it, it can become rather tricky to work-around string limitation.
