You have to access the value of the context attribute to which you have bound the "selectedKey" property.

Example: Attribute is named "country" and at root level:

String selectedCountry = wdContext.currentContextElement().getCountry();
/* or if attribute was created by code: */
String selectedCountry = (String) wdContext.currentContextElement().getAttributeValue("country");
if ( "INDIA".equals(selectedCountry) )
{
  /* INDIA is selected in drop-down list */
}

Hey I tried ur code but it's showing me the value which i've stored in the enumeration ie "select"

before u gave me the code i tried this code but it's also showing me the same value

if(fld.getName()=="country")

{

if(value=="Select")

{

value = "Country is not Selected";

//return;

}

}

Hi Amit,

I could not understand your requirement but change if condition

like this if the selected value is String

if(selected value.isEqualsIngonreCase(INDIA))

{

// do what you want

}

If you want to access the key of the DropDown dynamically, you can do like this

if(<DropDownInstance>.getSelectedKey().isEqualsIngonreCase(INDIA))

{

//

}

hey im not getting that how should i access that attribute value. i mean how do i come to know that the particular value is selected. The 1st element is Select. So if "Select" is selected then in the result i want to write "Country is not selected.

Hi Amit,

If you want to get the attribute value, you can get in two ways.

Using DropDown

1.Get the instance of DropDownByKey in wdDoModifyView()

like IWDDropDownByKey dbkey = (IWDDropDownByKey) view.getElement("ID_DROPDOWN");

2.Set the SelectedKey property

dbkey.getSelectedKey();

or

Using Context attribute

wdContext.current<dropdownnode>Element().get<DropDownAttribute>();

Do null check wherever necessary.

regards,

Siva
