Hi Anitha,

Follow the procedure:

1. Create a Context Node say Vn_List and two attribute within say Va_Name and say Va_EmpNo.

2. Insert UI element ItemListBox in your view and bind the DATASOURCE to the node, Text to Va_EmpNo and DESCRIPTION to Va_Name. Let VISIBLE ITEM to be 5 and width to 250px.

3. Now in case you want to add item to this list , simply add elements to the node Vn_List setting the attributes within. In actual scenarios, usually, you pick up values from any other node displayed as table/itemlistbox and then create new element in thisVn_List Node corresponding to the selected value to be added into the list.

Hi Tushar,

Thanks for your immediate reply. I can able to insert values in itemlistbox

Could you please give give me steps, how to select and fetch the muliple values from itemlistbox.

I want to perform visibility function for certain UI elements according to the values selected from itemlistbox.

User can able to select multiple values and according to the multiple selection, the visibility of UI element changes.

Hi Anitha,

First of all set the node bound to the itemlistbox with cardinality 0..n and selection 0..n

This will let it contain 0 to n elements and at the same time let user select 0 to n elements in it.

Also, set multipleSelection property of ItemListBox to true.

Since the only event for this UI element is onLeadSelect and your requirement is to trigger event after multiple selection, you need to trigger your event on action of a button instead. In the action of the button, use a for loop across the node size and then check if the ItemListBox element at a particular index is multiple selected using

boolean b_IsSelected = wdContext.node<Your Item List Box Node>().isMultiSelected(index i);

If b_IsSelected comes to be true then you can modify the visibility of any UI element as you wish.
