Using keys with ItemListBoxes.

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

I want the same functionality as 'drop down by key' (which is used in drop downs) available in ItemListBoxes.

Eg: I have a list box of country names and when the user selects one or more countries i should be able to get the country codes.

Thanks and Regards,

Sindhu JR.

Unlike the RadioButton and CheckBox, there are not two separate (ByKey and ByIndex) UI elments for the ItemListBox. Therefore you always have to use the get_selected* approach as though it was a ByIndex UI element.

hi ,

did u try to follow this ? read the context attribute for Country name using 'get attribute'

*   get single attribute
    lo_el_cn_role->get_attribute(
      EXPORTING
        name =  `COUNTRY_DESC`
      IMPORTING
        value = lv_desc ).

u can do it by control wizard or pressing CTRL + F7 and thn click on the radio button Read Context Node/Attribute

thn u can use the select query to

fetch the country code where county name is lv_desc.

rgds,
