Hi Rahul,

If you have created a value attribute say city(of type simple type you have created and enumerated) and binded it to the DropDownByKey UI Element,

then in the doInit() method give the following code,

> wdContext.currentContextElement().setCity("C"); /* if C is the Key for city Chennai in the enumeration simple type , then chennai will be default value .*/

HI

for populating values you provide the values in dic - . simple type .

in the emuneration you provide value and text . EX; value 1 text mumbai

in the init() method

wdcontext.currentcontextelement.set<attr>(1);

Hi Rahul,

to set the default value of your required value write the code as

wdcontext.node<nodename>.setleadselection("2");

Hii,

Suppose ur dropdown key is bound to node ---city..and value attribute City1..then put this code in wdDoInit() of view as ;

wdContext.nodeCity().currentCity1Element.setCity("Chennai');

so that Chennai will be set as default value.
