DropDownByIndex : is used when values for the drop down list are available in a context node.

Context

List (Node 0..n)

Value(attribute String)

Bind 'Value' to DDBYINDX texts property.

Supply context values. you can get the selected element by

wdContext.currentListElement().getValue();

Hi,

write this code in onSelect() Event of DrowdownbyIndex.

String ss=wdContext.currentContextElement().getObject();

wdContext.currentContextElement().setText(ss);

getObject() means drowdownbyindex binded attribute.

setText() means Textfield binded attribute.

HI,

suppose the dropdownbyindex is bind with the attribute "testName" in the node "Test".

so the context is like

Test

.....testName

.....

so to get the selected value do like this

wdContext.nodeTest().getTestElementAt(wdContext.nodeTest().getLeadSelection()).gettestName();

hope it clear!

You should have binded a context atribute to the dropdown list (otherwise you will get an erro in build time). Retrieving the value of that attribute is enough:
