Unable To clear ListBox

I have put a commandbar Object in my project and added two components under it (A button and a Listbox).

The issues I have are the following:

1) How can I clear the Listbox when Opening Excel?
(it contains old data) I've tried with OnAddInInitialize but the
following command doesn't work:

adxCB.Controls[1].AsDropdownList.items.clear;

2) After pushing a button that will populate the Lisbox, I cannot
visualize the first item automatically with the command:

adxCB.Controls[1].AsDropdownList.itemindex := 0;

...and I would like to show some caption, like [Choose your Item] from
the list.

Thank you in advance for pointing me where to find more infos on this subject!

Hi Davide,

1) Try to use the OnAddInStartupComplete event instead of OnAddInInitialize. In the OnAddInStartupComplete event all controls are already connected. Also use the code below:
adxCB.Controls[1].AsDropdownList.Clear;

2) adxCB.Controls[1].AsDropdownList.ListIndex := 1;

As for caption: set the Style property to the adxMsoComboLabel and set the Caption property.

Hello,

Adding the following line to the procedure "TAddInModule.adxCBControls0Click(Sender: TObject);"

adxCB.Controls[1].AsDropdownList.itemindex := 0;

Generates the following Error:
A_Retrieve error: the add-in has fired an exception.
Invalid index

Only after registering the Plug-in. Reopening excel doesn't do the same...but the result is that the toolbar cannot be docked.

Hi Davide,

Try the code below:
adxCB.Controls[1].AsDropdownList.ListIndex := 1;
