List and ComboBox in System Console

In the System Console documentation, I can't find any mention of how to add items to the list or comboBox widgets. Anyone know how?

Question 1:

Is is possible to select one of the comboBox options with dashboard_set_property?

Example: 


      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"}

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 select 2

Question 2: 


    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}}
    }

If I call the above proc with: 
::led_control::add_led_control_component 1

The comboBox is added to my dashboard. But 
dashboard_set_property ${::led_control::dash_path} box_led_${led} onChange {::led_control::toggle ${led}}
is not working good. Probably due to lack of TCL knowledge. See the error below. 


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}"

The proc arg led is not working as I expected.

How can I fix this issue?
