DropDownByKey

[Former Member]

Is it possible to insert a blank value while creating a dropdown from a static Simple type?

Hi Bhavana,

1) Add one more entry of blank value (ie: " ") as the 1st element of the static type.

2) Create a attribute in the view context of the dictionary datatype (ie: simple type in which you have value), let say attribute name is Text.

3) In the code set the blank value to this, using this code:

wdContext.currentContextElement().setText(" ");

I hope this should solve your problem.

Hi,

Blank value will not be there and cant be inserted in case of DD by key.

Only in index

but if u want then write the code like this.

ISimpleTypeModifiable myType=wdThis.wdGetAPI().getContext().getModifiableTypeOf("aaa");

IModifiableSimpleValueSet val=myType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();

val.put("","");

val.put("B","2");

val.put("C","3");

val.put("D","4");

Regards

Vijay

Hi Bhavana,

But AFAIK and as I can see in refernce manual DropDownByKey always has a blank item.
