Set selected value in listbox for newly stored bookmarks

[sebastian_roehl1]

Hi experts,

I'm currently implementing a bookmark solution to an existing dashboard.

Created bookmarks are stored in a listbox. The listbox always needs to have one item selected.

I tried to implement it in a way that in case a new bookmark is created, it should become the selected value in the listbox. However there seems to be no way to achive this as the listbox won't accept a bookmark ID as a value to set the selected value.

Heres what I tried to do:

LB_BOOKMARK is my listbox for bookmarks.
BOOKMARKS is my bookmark component.

The .addItem function for listboxes will accept a bookmark ID as input but doesn't return anything.

The .setSelectedValue function won't accept bookmark IDs and I'm stuck right there.

Do you see any way set a newly created bookmark as the selected one in a list?

Hi everyone,

I've been working on this issue once more and found a solution that might not be best one but still does the trick.

As I'm not able to provide a bookmark id to set the listbox to I use a hidden textarea. The id is passed to the textarea and the the value of the textarea can be passed on as input to set the listbox to.

TA_* = textarea

LB_* = listbox

TA_BOOKMARK_DESCRIPTION.setValue(BOOKMARKS.get(bookID).id);
LB_BOOKMARK.setSelectedValue(TA_BOOKMARK_DESCRIPTION.getValue());

Best regards,

Sebastian
