Default selection of an item in DropDownByIndex

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have few dropdowns (dropdownbyindex) in a table. I need to make default selection of an item in the dropdown.

for example if one of my dropdown has values "A","B","C","D". I want to show B as selected. How can we do this?

Any help?

regards,

Hi,

You must have bound the texts property of the dropdown to some context node. Just set the leadselection of that node.

For example, if your context looks like

-Root

--DataNode

---Text() (value attribute mapped to textx property.)

wdContext.nodeDataNode().setLeadSelection(1);

Hi Satyajith,

I won't know the index 1. I have only value "D" with me

Hi,

Then do this:

int lead = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < wdContext.nodeDataNode().size; i++){
IWDNodeElement elem = wdContext.nodeDataNode().getElementAt(i);

if(elem.getAttributeAsText("Text").equalsIgnoreCase("D"))
{
lead = i;
break;
}
}

wdContext.nodeDataNode().setLeadSelection(lead);

Hi,

wdContext.CurrentDataNodeElement.Set<Attribute>.("B");

Hi,

Try this,

when load the node values check the selected value in the adding list and set it as lead selected.

IPrivate<ViewName>.IReceiverNode nodeReceiver=wdContext.nodeReceiver();

for(int k=0;k<wdContext.nodeReceiver().size();k++) {

String curentvalue=String.valueOf(((IPrivate<ViewName>.IReceiverElement)(wdContext.nodeReceiver().getElementAt(k))).get<Param>());

if(curentvalue.equals("B")){

nodeReceiver.setLeadSelection(k);

}

}

Kind Regards
