Hi Sathish,

Changing the list key value to "2000;3000" should do the trick.  i.e. replace the comma with a semi-colon.

Also, in addition to my previous comment, you should use the getSelectedValue() method instead of getSelectedValues(), assuming you would like to allow selection of just one list box item at a time.

Hi Sathish,

This method actually works for me.  It looks like you are using a BEx data source which is how I have tested.

Can you provide a screenshot of the new List Box values as well as the script editor?

Thanks,

Mustafa.

Hi Bensan,

Now Its working Fine Thank You For Prompt Response,I have Doubt when can we use Get selected Values() Could you explain inbrief and also Arrays concept in design studio.

Regard's,

Hi Sathish,

getSelectedValues() should be used when you have set the List Box Multiple Selection property to true.  It allows the user to select multiple items from the list simultaneously.  However, this returns an array of strings which is incompatible with the Input String data type that setFilterExt() expects, so you would need to iterate through the array and convert it to an input string in that case.

Hi Bensan,

Thank you,How can I get thorough Knowledge on scripting I am new to design studio for some of the scripting Parameters I am unable to Understand Could You please suggest on this.

Hi Sathish,

You can initially refer to the script API documentation in the Design Studio Application Designer Guide.  You may also find relevant tutorials here.  Apart from that you can search the SCN blogs for relevant information.
