Re: ComboBox "No Selection" Text

Hello, This works with Combo List off, thank you. You are always welcome! Is there any way to get a similar display with Combo List True? I am afraid this is not possible.

Re: Relative paths

Hello Ivan,

Let's consider you have the following directory:

YourFolder:

  • Resources

  • Certificates
If you want the paths to be saved relative to the ProjectPath, please save your .AIP file in the "YourFolder" directory.
Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Catalin
