The property is called "options". For example:
More generally, you can get the list of properties for the undocumented widgets withdashboard_set_property $dash myBox options { "option 1" "option 2" "option 3" }
and guess from the property names.dashboard_get_properties widget_type - Altera_Forum

Thanks Daixiwen, that was it.
For the benefit of anyone who comes around and checks this thread later, the other useful property on them is "selected", which is the numeric index (zero based) of the currently selected item. Boy this would have all been better documented if it had just just been based around Tk instead of the proprietary dashboard. - Altera_Forum

Question 1:
Is is possible to select one of the comboBox options with dashboard_set_property? Example:
The first comboBox I would like to select not "Off" as default but "Mode 1" for example. Code below is not working.dashboard_set_property ${::led_control::dash_path} box_led_1 options { "Off" "On" "Mode 1" "Mode 2"} dashboard_set_property ${::led_control::dash_path} box_led_2 options { "Off" "On" "Mode 1" "Mode 2"} dashboard_set_property ${::led_control::dash_path} box_led_3 options { "Off" "On" "Mode 1" "Mode 2"} dashboard_set_property ${::led_control::dash_path} box_led_4 options { "Off" "On" "Mode 1" "Mode 2"}
Question 2:dashboard_set_property ${::led_control::dash_path} box_led_1 select 2
If I call the above proc with:proc add_led_control_component { led } { dashboard_add ${::led_control::dash_path} label_led_${led} label leds_group dashboard_set_property ${::led_control::dash_path} label_led_${led} text "Led ${led}" dashboard_add ${::led_control::dash_path} box_led_${led} comboBox leds_group dashboard_set_property ${::led_control::dash_path} box_led_${led} options { "Off" "On" "Blink fast" "Blink slow"} dashboard_set_property ${::led_control::dash_path} box_led_${led} onChange {::led_control::toggle ${led}} }
The comboBox is added to my dashboard. But::led_control::add_led_control_component 1
is not working good. Probably due to lack of TCL knowledge. See the error below.dashboard_set_property ${::led_control::dash_path} box_led_${led} onChange {::led_control::toggle ${led}}
The proc arg led is not working as I expected. How can I fix this issue?SEVERE: java.lang.Exception: can't read "led": no such variable while executing "::led_control::toggle ${led}" java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.Exception: can't read "led": no such variable while executing "::led_control::toggle ${led}"
