Hi georgeta,

You can get the text of the drop downbykey by using getText() method of IModifiableSimpleValueSet object.

try this sample code in the event handler of ur dropdown by keyselect.

IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo2 = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(<attribute name>);

IModifiableSimpleValueSet set = attributeInfo2.getModifiableSimpleType().getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();

String text=set.getText(<keyvalue>);

hope it helps for u

With Regards

Lavanya:

If you're using a simple type for your DDK, you could check the option for generating the class representation for the enum. That way, you could create the simple type from the value (from the context or a DB)

That is, when you're loading the values for the view's context, you can do it by creating an instance of the class that represents your simple type

MyEnumClass nodeVal = MyEnumClass.valueOf(key);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setMyValue(nodeVal);

Hope this helps

name1 is one string attribute where we r storing required value........

Sample code for getting the key of the message from its message text.

Field keys[] = IMessage<compname>.class.getFields();

String keyname = "";

for(int index=0;index<keys.length;index++)

{

keyname = keys[index].getName();

IWDTextAccessor ta = wdComponentAPI.getTextAccessor();

if(ta.getText(keyvalue).equals(wdcontext.currentcontextelement.<drope down attribute>))

{

wdcontext.currentcontextelement.setname1(keyname);

}

}
