Capture Drop Down List Value

[Shishir_P]

Hello,

I am an ABAPER and new to JAVA Script, I have a drop down list and based on the value selected I have to set visibility of 2 subforms. The problem with the script is that it behaves exactly opposite to what is expected, Can anyone from JAVA tell me what is wrong with this and how can I correct it?

if (this.parent.parent.CDT_Profile.CDT_PROFILE.rawValue == 2)

{

this.parent.parent.strength_right.presence = "visible";

this.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.Generic_Core.presence = "hidden";

this.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.Functional_Core.presence = "hidden";

}

if (this.parent.parent.CDT_Profile.CDT_PROFILE.rawValue == 1)

{

this.parent.parent.strength_right.presence = "hidden";

this.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.Generic_Core.presence = "visible";

this.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.Functional_Core.presence = "visible";

}

When the value is 1 form Strength_right appears when it should diappear and when the value is 2 Generic_Core and Functional_Core which are subforms disappear when they should be appearing.

May be rawvalue does not contain the latest value, in case my assumption is correct how can correct this?

Hi,

The " rawValue " does not contain the latest value in case of Drop Down List. To capture the latest values you would require syntax " xfa.event.newText " which holds the true value or new value.
