Say your DropDownByKey.<i>selectedKey </i>property is bound to an attribute "Name" in a node "Employees".

Then you can access the value set of the DDIC type of that attribute and get the text for any key like this:

IWDAttributeInfo att = wdContext.nodeEmployees().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IEmployeesElement.NAME);
ISimpleValueSet valueSet = att.getSimpleType().getSVServices().getValues();
String text = valueSet.getText("key");

Hi

Your Key is X And Value is Text, To show the Value and store the Key as invisible,

Create a Simple type in Dictionary and add enumeration values ..

In context create a value attribute and change it's type in properties to newly created simple type....

Now bind the dropdownbykey selected key to the value attribute .

Get the current Keyvalue as wdContext.Current<Drop>Element.get<Attribute>;

Hi ,

Dropdown by Index gets value from node.There is no key-value pair. We can load the values to it from a context node.

<b>DropDownByKey</b>: used when we use data dictionary type.For this create a dictionary of simple type in the dictionary.

<b>DropDownByIndex</b>: used when we get the data from the database. Here we directly bind the DropDownByIndex UI element to the context node(attribute).

Thanks,
