Managing select box collection (co, coro excells)

The following method can be used to get a select box collection common for the whole column:

combo = grid.getCombo(index);

If you need a collection to be specific for a cell:

combo = grid.getCustomCombo(index)

The collection supports the following API:

    combo.put(value,label) - adds a new record in the collection;
    combo.remove(value) - removes a record from the collection;
    combo.clear() - removes all records from the collection;

    combo.size() - returns the current size of the combo box;
    combo.get(value) - returns the label by value;
    combo.getKeys() - returns the array of all possible values;

    combo.save() - saves the current state;
    combo.restore() - restores the previously saved state.

The less common use-case is the one that gets the value by the label. This can be done using the following code:

var value = combo.values[combo.keys._dhx_find(key)];
