Hello everyone again.. can i get some little help.. i already took a days for this but i cannot accomplish. My problem is getting the values from INI and write it on paragraph..

Quiz1 = INIFile.GetValue(_TempFolder.."\\Setting.ini", "Correct Answer", "Quiz1");
Quiz2 = INIFile.GetValue(_TempFolder.."\\Setting.ini", "Correct Answer", "Quiz2");
Quiz3 = INIFile.GetValue(_TempFolder.."\\Setting.ini", "Correct Answer", "Quiz3");

Paragraph.SetText("Answer", Quiz1.."\r\n");
Paragraph.SetText("Answer", Quiz2.."\r\n");
Paragraph.SetText("Answer", Quiz3.."\r\n");


it only result the last last value which the Quiz3

i also try to make a loop but no success...

No native 'append' attribute on Paragraph objects, so easier to use a Listbox.
Like this:

tValueNames = INIFile.GetValueNames(_TempFolder.."\\Setting.ini", "Correct Answer");
for k,v in pairs (tValueNames) do
    sValue = INIFile.GetValue(_TempFolder.."\\Setting.ini", "Correct Answer", v);
    ListBox.AddItem("ListBox1", sValue, "");
end

But if you really want to use Paragraph object, then custom function will make it possible.
Like this:

function Paragraph.Append(Object, Text)
    local CurrentText = Paragraph.GetText(Object);
    if (CurrentText == "") then
        Paragraph.SetText(Object, Text);
        Paragraph.SetScrollPos(Object, Paragraph.GetScrollRange(Object, true).Max, true);
        else
        Paragraph.SetText(Object, CurrentText.."\r\n"..Text);
        Paragraph.SetScrollPos(Object, Paragraph.GetScrollRange(Object, true).Max, true);
    end
end

tValueNames = INIFile.GetValueNames(_TempFolder.."\\Setting.ini", "Correct Answer");
for k,v in pairs (tValueNames) do
    sValue = INIFile.GetValue(_TempFolder.."\\Setting.ini", "Correct Answer", v);    
    Paragraph.Append("Answer", sValue);
end

Hello Bio,, here we are again... Thanks for quick response..
i used both code you share but it result empty to my paragraph and ListBox..

No worries. Here's an APZ with both codes, anyway. Would've posted it for you earlier, but was literally on my way out the door at the time.

Just a couple of things to note:

• We can simplify the function a bit. The Paragraph.SetScrollPos commands aren't really needed - you can just omit those 2 lines of code if the Paragraph's scrollbars are turned off.
• And credit for the function actually goes to Sakuya, not me. (Is an old piece of code he wrote, years ago).

Glad you got it working.
