results in input field

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have two input fields. The first input field gets its values from fixed domain values. According to that, the results should be displayed in the second input field in a dropdown form. I'm not sure how to write the code for that. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Lathika,

1) create a context attribute and specify the type as a local dictionary type.

The dictionary type can contain an enumeration of values.

2) Attach the first input field(say id :InputField1) to this context attribute.

3) To the second input field (id : InputField2)you can attach a simple context attribute of type string.

4) Put the below mentioned code in wdModifyView.

=========================================================

IWDInputField secondinput = (IWDInputField)view.getElement("InputField2");

secondinput .setValue(wdContext.currentContextElement().getProducts());

=========================================================

So every time when the input filed selects a value the corressponding value gets displayed in the second.

Case 2:

In case you want some other values to be shown ion second input field in a drop down form .Say for example.

Input filed1 allows you to select a product.

Input filed displays the brands for the selcted product.

1) In this case you can create a context say product which is attached to dictionary type created by you.

2)Create dictionary types for the brands for the products say sopa,pencil etc.Create context attributes for the brands and attach them to tehese dictinary types.

Then in modify view put the following code.

productbrands = (IWDInputField)view.getElement("InputField1_0");

if (wdContext.currentContextElement().getProducts().equalsIgnoreCase("soap"))

{

productbrands.bindValue(wdContext.currentContextElement().node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("soap"));

}

else

{

productbrands.bindValue(wdContext.currentContextElement().node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("pencil"));

}
