Passing dropdown box values to variable in WAD

[Former Member]

HI

I would like to pass the values from dropdown box to variable in my IP application. These variables are used to restrict the char values in filters of my application. When I change the dropdown box, ,my variable value should automatically change. My dropdown box uses the Char/struc member ( Characteristic_selection) as data binding because I am doing the cascading dropdown boxes for my selection. I can not use variable as data binding for my dropdown box and I know this will work if I use the variable selection as data binding for drop down box.

Thanks

Raj.

Hi.

You can pass selected value of DDbox to variable and use this variable in IP.

To di it in data binding select "char/structure ...".

In selection of characteristic select:

Dataprovide = your dataprovider

Characteristic = your characteristic

Affected DP = your DP

Additional action = commands via wizard

Command=set variable value

Variable=your variable

Variable type = binding type

binding type = data provider selection

DP = your dataprovider

characteristic=your characteristic

Thanks for your reply. I tried this but did not work. I have mandatory variable with default value. Does that make any difference ? I can make this work with optional variable but when I have mandatory variable it does not work. Do you have any idea why ?

Thanks
