Hi,

Open the form in the designer.

Go to Tools -- Options -- Data Binding

Check "Show Dynamic Properties" and close it.

Select the dropdown

Go to Object Palette, Cell tab

List Items will now be a link .... click on it...

Navigate to the node having the data for dropdown

eg. $record.NODE_01.DATA[*]

Item Text myText

Item Value myValue

(Assuming NODE_01 has attributes myText and myValue)

Apart from this, make the following checks, in WD4A if the displayType is Native create dropdown from Web Dynpro Native Library, if displaytype = ActiveX, create dropdown from WebDynpro ActiveX Library

Also what is the layout Type for the form???

Reema.

CREATE A INTERNAL TABLE WITH TWO FIELDS Text AND Value WHICH YOU WANT O BIND TO THE DROPDOWN.

Open the form in the designer.

Go to Tools -- Options -- Data Binding

Check "Show Dynamic Properties" and close it.

Select the dropdown

Go to Object Palette, binding tab

default binding :

eg. $record.NODE_01.DATA[*].text

specify Item values will now be a link .... click on it...

Navigate to the node having the data for dropdown

ITEM : DATA[*]

Item Text: Text : TEXT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DISPLAY.

Item Value: Value : VALUE YOU WANT TO HAVE AT THE BACKEND.

Mohammed,

Instead of just replying solved, it would help others as well with similar problem if you write a line or two on how did you resolve your error.

I had already tried this thing, my problem is when i click on the binding of the drop down as you mentioned, it turns my screen to blank and i have to close the screen and open the form again, i don't know why this is happening.

request you to try in your system to create a standard drop down in offline mode and give me your reply.
