[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.

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


Thank you for using Focal Point!
