Hello Gurus,
I found these two great functions today and I'm to use it for my HTML listbox. I have this listbox ("mainlist") that I need it to preselect some rows based on a fex so I created another listbox ("sublist")(hidden) with that fex.

Here's what I tried so far
function onInitialUpdate()
{
dflSel = IbComposer_getCurrentSelection('sublist');
IbComposer_setCurrentSelection('mainlist', dflSel, true);
}

I was hoping line 2 in the function will set some selections based on line 1 but it only one item stays selected. What I'm I doing wrong ?


Please let meknow

Define the variable and it will work, btw.. why dont you use 'Send display value' option ?
function onInitialUpdate()
{
var dflSel = IbComposer_getCurrentSelection('sublist');
IbComposer_setCurrentSelection('mainlist', dflSel, true);
}

Have you checked to see what is returned from the get ?

The IbComposer_setCurrentSelection expects an array for the second parameter.

Thanks guys, it looks like the first one is prepopulated which stayed selected in my sublist. I want everything in that hidden listbox to be selected in my mainlist. Please advise.

Found the problem, I needed to adjust what I need to select which is basically everything from my subset.

var dflSel = IbComposer_getComponentById('sublist');
IbComposer_setCurrentSelection('mainlist', dflSel, false);
