Hi,

I m using a drop down by key which gets its values from the database. Now if I want to set it to a particular value, can I do this? Like on selecting a row of a table the drop down shud display the value which corresponds to the entry in tha table.

Hi,

If you can get the key of an item in the dropdown while you select the row of the table,using that key you can set the value in the drop down as follows

wdContext.current<DDBK node>Element().set<Context attribute mapped to selectedKey property of DDBK>(<Key value to be displayed>);
