Setting a default value for DropDownByIndex UI

[Former Member]

I have a drop down by index UI element which gets its values from a table. i need to set the default value to 'Select a State' or something like that. How do i do it?

Thanks,

Hi

Try the code below.

IPrivate<View_name>.I<Node_name>Element ele = wdContext.node<node_name>().create<node_name>Element;

wdContext.node<node_name>().addElement(ele);

wdContext.current<node_name>Element.set<attribute_name>("Select a State");

//Again create element and add the table values to ur node.

wdContext.node<node_name>().setLeadSelection(0);

But this will contain the value 'Select a State' at the index 0.

hai Lathika,

ArrayList arr=new ArrayList();

IPrivateXXXXXView.IXXXElement yElement =wdContext.createXXXElement();

yElement.setZ("-select Position-");

arr.add(yElement);

wdContext.nodeXXX().bind(arr);

try this,

Hi Lathika,

Please follow these links:

and

Also, try this solution:

that means you have to set at design time,

to set default drop down value you will have to set the value for particular attribute (which is linked to the dropdown element) in the context

like

wdContext.currentContext<nodeName>Element.set<FieldName>(<default value>)

This generally done in Initialization method of the controller

Thanks,

Raj.
