Select items in a list from a function call return

[drex_ej]

Hello,

I have a form with a listbox that is populated through a SQL query.
When the user comes to this form I am launching an XBasic function to get some data and return it to the form.
One of the things I am also trying to do is select the items in the listbox from the javascript data returned from the XBasic ajax call.

Thanks In Advance

Is this a web application you are talking about ? Listbox ? You mean a List in a UX component or a dropdownbox ? Need more details to be able to answer, be more specific

Sorry,

It is a web app, inside of a UX. I have a Listbox that pulls it's own list of items to populate itself with. I need to be able to send it the values to mark as selected through the javascript return values from an XBasic function.

You mean it is a text control with control type set to dropdown box & populated dynamically ? Or is it a list control ? You really need to be specific maybe add few screenshots & clearly explain what you want to do. Don't know if I'll be able to help you as I still don't understand what you mean by "I need to be able to send it the values to mark as selected through the javascript return values from an XBasic function."

I've attached a pic of the form.
When this form is brought up, I do an XBasic Ajax call to pull in the the scheduled times, and also need to highlight / select which installers have been previously assigned to this job.

Still no go, the screenshot could be anything, a screenshot of the component defintion could possible help or create a video with Jing in which you explain what you want to do. Sorry.

UX
<PANELCARD1>
<LIST1> -> Shows list of site measurements that need to be taken.
</PANELCARD1>

<PANELCARD2>
<FRAME1>
(a bunch of textboxes listing the details of the location that was selected on LIST1)
</FRAME1>

<FRAME2>
(three text boxes with the date / start time / end time of the measurement)
<LIST2> - a listbox populated through it's own SQL query
</FRAME2>
</PANECARD2>

XBASIC CODE (called when an item is selected in LIST1)
function PullCurrentScheduleInformation as c (...)
(In here I make several calls to the backend database to pull the schedule info and the list of installers selected to do the measurements)
PullCurrentScheduleInformation = (a series of javascript that populates the controls in PANELCARD2 > FRAME2)
- I am trying to send the correctly formatted javascript to LIST2 to select the appropriate items in it.
end function
UX

Re: Select items in a list from a function call return

When you select an item in LIST1 it changes to PANEL2 and makes an Ajax call to the function PullCurrentScheduledInformation, this then returns Javascript ( i.e. PullCurrentScheduledInformation = "{dialog.Object}.setValue('RFMTIME','" + passtime + "' );" )

Does this help any?

Did you watch this video ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqD015PuoT0

I just found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52wTvdNQ8og which pointed me in the right direction ("{dialog.Object}.setValue('LIST','Value' );").

There is a little catch in that you need to set the return value of the list to the data your going to pass in.

The only problem is that appears to only allow you to select one item at a time.

Or, I may have just forgotten to turn on multiselect on my test list.

(FYI, multi-select items like so - "{dialog.Object}.setValue('LIST',['Value1','Value2'] );" )

Thank you for your help.
