[CLOSED] Populating multiple list boxes from HOLD file
Hello
I am looking into populating multiple list boxes from one HOLD file in this format.
FIELD1 FIELD2
A 1
A 2
A 3
B 4
B 5
B 6
C 7
C 8
C 9
I want 1st list box to show 1,2,3...2nd list box to show 4,5,6...and 3rd list box to show 7,8,9. FIELD1 can be used as a WHERE filter to conditionally populate those list boxes.
Only way I could think of is to create 3 fex files and return data in XML format to populate each list box. Is there a way to achieve this without using fex files and directly populating from data source (HOLD file)? Please suggest.
Thank you.This message has been edited. Last edited by: WebFOCUS_Dev,

Perhaps you could load a hidden control, then use IbComposer_populateDynamicCtrl to populate the others, or a bit of javascript to populate.

I think the easiest way is to do what you were thinking using the fex files with output of XML
