assigning values dynamically to drop down

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have drop down for which i have to assign values dynamically, I am getting values as a form of Array list.

Refer this code to populate data in drop down by index at runtime

String color[] = {"Red", "Green","Blue" };
    IPrivatePrototypeView.IPaintElement elt ;
    
    for(int i=0; i<color.length; i++){
    	elt = wdContext.createPaintElement();
    	elt.setColor(color<i>);
    	wdContext.nodePaint().addElement(elt);	
    }

Hi,

do you want to use drop down by key or drop down by index?

If drop down by key, use above code by siva.

If you want to use drop down by index, populate the value attribute with you array list data.

bind the drop down by index's "texts" property to this value attibute.

Hi,

You can go for dropdownbyindex ui element too and copy your values in the arraylist to the context node binded to the texts property of the dropdownbyindex.

Hi Venki,

Say your ArrayList is al . Create a value attribute under the root node. Say test. Bind this test to the DropdownByKey UI element. You can populate test attribute like this.

IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = 
wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivate<viewname>View.IContextElement.TEST);

ISimpleTypeModifiable valuesType = 
attributeInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
 
IModifiableSimpleValueSet VS= 
valuesType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
 	
 	  for (int i = 0; i < al.size(); i++) {
		VS.put(al.get(i),""+al.get(i));
	}
