IBCOMPOSER_SETCURRENTSELECTION javascript not working

Hi,

I am trying to load the dropdown on click using the ibcomposer_setcurrentselection javascript function but it's not working.

I want to declare the dropdown as "Static" by default and when I click the button it should get populated.

How can I achieve this?

Please see the following sample code I am using.

If all you are wanting to do is not populate until the button is pressed then chain the button to the control and then have the action as populate. You could even hide the controls and then do a populate, show.

I know you can at least do something like this with a checkbox.

BTW, can you use car.mas in your sample code instead of samplehold so that it is easier to reproduce?

I don't want to populate it through chain but want to populate while clicking the button.

The samplehold is a CAR file. If you replace that with CAR, your dropdown should populate.

Alright, I assumed that you can chain from a button but you can only chain to a button.

I was able workaround this by having a hidden radio button. When the actual button is pressed, the hidden radio button is selected. The hidden radio button is chained to country to populate show.

The end result is that country is only populated when the button is pressed. Also, people generally want to change as little as possible when helping another person out, so I would say that you should change samplehold to car instead of the people trying to help you out unless you can't use car for some reason.

I've chronicled the problems I have with IbComposer_setCurrentSelection. Meanwhile, the so-called API functions are poorly documented. To use IbComposer_setCurrentSelection with multiple values, they have to be in a JavaScript array, this is how I call it:

IbComposer_setCurrentSelection('P_REPORT_DIMENSIONS', P_REPORT_DIMENSIONS_array)

Here's what I have done in the past: I create a hidden (Display: Do Not Display) listbox in HTML Composer and have this point to the data. The visible listbox has no data properties. The button has an onclick event handler.

In the example below I use normal javaScript to copy the option values in the hidden listbox (temporarily made visible) to the visible listbox. I hope this helps a bit.
