Dynamic FormComboBox control added on the form using code lookup not working

Hello folks, we have design where we need to add the control on the form dynamically based on the setup. In that I have added the FormControlComboBox after the super() of Init().

also I'm populating the combo box with the values using the FormControlComboBox.item() and .text(). When I execute and see the output of the form I do not see the lookUp working

The lookup icon is shown but neither the values populated nor the lookup itself working.

Alternate solution implemented. - Not working though.

I have replaced the ComboBox with FormStringControl and used the registerOverRide() method of LookUp() on the form init(). In this case the debugger doesn't hit the registered method if I were to debug the case why the lookup is not working.

Question:-

Could anyone help me understand why the lookup is not working?
Does the registerOverridemethod will work for dynamically added controls on the form?

Is there any better way to approach this design?

@Waed Ayyad, Thank you for suggesting your valuable input. I have found the root cause of the issue. Where I was incorrectly overriding the methods(text(), item()) of FormControlComboBox in the while loop. Instead of text and item method I must be using the add() method. After the change I have made I could see the expected behaviour.

Solution:

comboBoxCtrl.add("Test");

Hi,

Can you show me the whole code for the Lookup of string control?
You can check the following link Also:

In case you want to have Enum with different values based on logic or condition and you already know all values, you can create Enum with all values and show the elements that you want based on condition as in the following links:
