Dropdown values order change

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have DropdownbyIndex in my webdynpro screen. The values are coming from (BAPI.Using Jco connection)

In BAPI values are displayed in the BAPI side the following ways

1.ABAP

2.XI

3.EP

4.BI

in My webdynpro dropdown values are displayed in the same order. Is there any possiblity to change the order?If yes How to change the order of the values(without chaging from BAPI side) and how to display the different order in the dropdown?

Regards,

Hi.

it just tht u want to set default value accoding to user role.

like if user's role is abaper thn first value in dropdown will b ABAP..

If i'm getting u right.

then first get role of user in Wdinit()

for role fetahing u cn go through :

[role|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80ef07f8-3e6c-2b10-9cb7-81d4ef2e294a]

then hold this role in varible n apply a condition like

If (var.equalsIgnoreCase(")

{

wdcontext.current<Valuenodeforsimpletype>.set("ABAP");

}

likewise u cn apply conditions for each n every role.

hope it'll hlp u

hi Khushboo,

As per the P.Manivannan. written in above note

he has 4 differenet user. whenever the user (optional) we have to get the current user and we can change the dropdown list accroding to it

/message/553298#553298 [original link is broken]

we can store in list..later we can assign the list to dropdown index

let me know u need any further info

Hi all,

If i use this code

If (var.equalsIgnoreCase("<abaprole>)

{

wdcontext.current<Valuenodeforsimpletype>.set<attribute>("ABAP");

}

the corresponding value is coming in the top of the dropdown list. But my scenario was the

"Dropdown values coming from BAPI"

If i use above code additionally one value is added in my dropdown

For eg: If i choose EP following order will come

1.EP

2.XI

3.ABAP

4.BI

5.EP

EP displayed twice? any other suggestions

Hi manivannan,

1. Loop trough the node using the node.size() method.

2. Read the element from the node using get.....ElementAt(i)

3. Check if it is the element you are looking for then use:

4. Deselect any element that might be selected: node.setLeadSelection(IWDNode.NO_SELECTION)

5. Select the element you found: node.setSelected(index, true);

That's it.

hi,

create a context node and attribute of type String .

copy the model data from the model node to a collection(for eg List) and sort it in what ever order you want.

use the below code to populate the node .

wdContext.node<ValueNode>.bind(<Collection>);

bind the attribute to the text property of drop down by index.

Thanks and Regards
